  • Boredom

    Or the art of killing time? Allowing your mind to wander and not be occupied with something. Staring across an expanse of blue sky or warmth of your home’s ceiling – not filled with sadness but a subtle warm glow of peace and contentment.

    For a working mother like me, such moments are rare and precious. Away from the calling of work or the duty of parenthood, I find myself surrounded by existential questions like ‘What’s my purpose?’, ‘What do I identify as?’ and so on.

    To be or not to be?

    I now think life’s a journey of such questions stringed around the fielding of daily chores and duties. One can either be a hermit by renouncing it all and answering them or keeping up with the family ties and stealing those ‘me-time’ from all the busyness. There is no perfect answer so choose the one that suits your bill.
