It seemed as if a bunch of stray cats
had barged in my house and ransacked everything. There were toys all the floor,
a tea cup lying on the table, spilled tea all over the tablecloth, some had
already trickled down on the floor, pile of washed clothes that I had gathered
from the cloth line were lying in a heap on the dining table as well, house was
a total mess,
It happened twice that I pulled myself together to clean
everything up, but every time I tried doing so, Vihaan would come and scatter
toys all over again and then run towards the farthest end of the room, it
seemed to me as if he was enjoying all of it, he had sensed my distress and was
trying to be funny, maybe to cheer me up...I left everything there as it is and
curled myself up on our pistachio green couch, just like a ball of fur, I lay
there motionless....there was an invisible compulsive thread that seemed to
pull my feet forward, trying to make me stand again and clear the mess, but a
more strong, invincible thread pulled my back more deeper into the couch, not
letting me go.
That's when I simply, chose to just be, let things be the way
they are, toys all over, spilled tea on the floor, and the heap of clothes on
the table, I called Vihaan and the little one just came running towards me with
full of energy....we both lay there playing our favourite game, "This
little piggy"
Sometimes it just feels great to not
take the load of everything around, and sometimes "messy people are the
happy people "
