Messed Up Matron

Messed Up Matron

By Ambika Sathyanarayana | Submitted On July 26, 2018




We are busy or we do not have time, is what we hear often today. I then questioned time, why do you always run away from us? Is there any solution for you to walk with us? Then time replied "I am running nowhere dear; I just keep up my duty. I am punctual. It's just people blame me for their incapability. Only thing I suggest is, everything has value in world, so do I. Always trust me. I have power of healing. People may not be able to cope up with me, but keep on trying. SMILE is the best syrup to catch me faster".

'This is what every single woman is trying to do in her life'. I thought myself.
Starting from her early chores, it depends on her ability to handle them carefully. No one ever cares when her routine work is done systematically. But they do react if she doesn't.

Specially a married cum working woman has a lot to do with this topic. Despite working outdoor, she does administer her personal life beautifully. Waking up early in the morning, having an aromatic cup of coffee with paper and a long walk with scenic beauty for eyes will refresh every individual mind. And I affirmatively say, this is every woman's dream. But in reality, hot coffee mug will be waiting for her. By the time she prepares breakfast and lunch, it becomes cold coffee. She wakes up kids and start bathing them and suddenly realize she let slip from memory that she had cold coffee without brushing. Next step by step she puts uniform to kids, comb their hair, untangling each strand carefully and while putting braids on both sides, unintentionally she places comb on her hair bun. Started feeding them, forcing to eat all vegetables and compel them to drink milk against their will. On the other hand, she tries to catch them and try to discipline them while putting on their socks and shoes.

Finally, she looks at an antique Empire wall clock which was gifted on her wedding day by friends and berate them for presenting such thing, which is not waiting for her. Uttering a loud cry, calling her husband who is ready by now to take children to bus stop. She locks the door behind as they leave and rush into bathroom, brush teeth, bath and dress up by searching comb cheek to cheek, applying cream and lip gloss, give a lite touch of eye liner. Still couldn't hunt down comb, she hears knock on the door. Adjusting bangles on one hand and fast track watch on the other, she runs towards hall and find her mobile with low battery as her kid was playing temple run while having breakfast. Put it on charge and finally open the door.

Her better half who understands her better than anyone, discovers a comb struck on her hair bun and gives it. Thanking him profusely, she requests him to pack both their lunch bags. In the meantime, she completes her make over and place all trash in her hand bag except ID card and glasses. Before locking door, she lights a lamp and pray for few seconds. Both wear shoes, lock the door and try to press the lift button, which in turn is not responding properly. In hurry, you take stairs instead and rush towards car. As she places herself on front seat, a fast memory of ID card and glasses flash like lightning in front of her eyes. She looks at her husband pleasingly and without uttering a word he runs, finds and brings her stuff. He is used to this.

Sudden start of engine and a jerk brings her to present and she starts thanking him, not only for today but also for previous night as he looked after kids and other home chores as she was busy on some official calls and meeting.

Both smile and give each other a warm hug as they reached destination and departed to offices. she steps into office, throwing amiable smile to colleagues as is her nature. Switching on the system, she isn't surprised to see some heavily loaded cases on her hand. Sometimes pressure from higher officials make her skip lunch. Head ache takes over and she is placed in a situation where five minutes of her own time is not afforded to a cup of ginger tea or coffee.

She drafts mails and while doing so her sharp eyes gaze at a notification received on phone that a flared top with 50% off, but no time to look or book it. After accomplishing day's work, she leaves office with a feeling of carrying a ton of weight on her head accompanying with a growling sound made by the stomach due to hunger.

Despite delay, she steps into house with kids picked up on the way from day care. She feels like relaxing on couch with pleasant music but she is bound to prepare dinner and complete another devoir. Somehow she signs off a tiring day.
In addition to this, she or any of her family member may become subject to bad health and yet she must stick on a periodic schedule without leaving behind any province that comes under her area.

Attending functions, marriages and birthday parties associated with apt bestowal is another important part of life. She plans perfect outfit for self and family, purchase varieties of presents, propose ideas for organizing functions and festive. Despite performing these things, friends and family tag her with a name "ABSENT MINDED" (lol), that's fine for her. She should not give up on herself for such silly things.

"LIVE WHAT YOU LEARN". But at some point, we "LEARN HOW TO LIVE". Adjustment plays prominent role in this quote. When someone comment on woman that she is not active, we intend to say, what the hell you know about my life as busy as a beaver? But we don't.

Hmm mm... to just write an article I feel tired. Hats off to every married and working woman. At certain stage, she is a Messed-Up Matron but only she knows what she goes through. She does a lot of stuff, she is physically present at all family meetings & outings, but not mentally all the times. In this scenario, she is a Messed-Up Matron, no time to enjoy normal life as her thoughts revolve around planning the next tasks.

A small Reminder for all ladies, "Wrong thinking is the only problem in life, Right knowledge is the ultimate solution to all problems". I mentioned the word 'Reminder' instead of suggestion, because you know this statement well, but you may not be able to recollect it every day due to hectic life. Be positive and stay motivated. LOVE YOU GUYS.
