Mamma’s Boy

I love your stubby fingers and your crooked little toes

I love your chubby cheeks and your little button nose

I love your big black eyes and your pretty auburn hair

I love your rosy lips and your dimpled smile

I know one day you’ll grow up to be wonderful

and forget to play with all these toys

Wondering how does Mamma knows?

Because you’re my darling... Mamma’s boy

Subsequent phase

By pooja on 8th July

Subsequent phase of my professional life Now on -

The word MAA now holds a novel & fresh meaning in my life….I was enjoying a pleasured motherhood with extra punch of keenness, fun and cherished memories build each & every minute, my pregnancy indolence was absolutely gone….RUDRANIL, the apple of my eye….my little darling…we were hitting the right chords together, playing around, making funny, erratic faces, those little tears flowing down his plump cheeks giving me and my emotions a whiplash. I used to literally cuddle him with a warm embrace so as to make him feel that Mumma is here & ALL IS WELL. We are now a hit combo of mother-son…everyday spend with him was budding me as a mother, as a person. My perceptions, attitude and viewpoint changed towards everything in life. He is 2 years big now.

Then one fine day, I started considering myself and my ambitions to be self-determining as I always have been earlier….though the focal point was upbringing of my little lad and I knew my independence and financial stability would in any case enhance the sort of upbringing I envision for him. Hunting for the right job was also a colossal task in itself since me being a full time mother in current scenario.

Anyways, I was persistent with my inner self to re-grow my once shredded wings and fly through horizons. I have seen & heard people cribbing, feeling awful for their work but on a contrary I could hardly remember any day when I didn’t loved my job…..In fact every day was like a new challenges / meeting new people, refinement & updating knowledge….Now when I see back, I see promising career with deep rooted relations with people and companies I have been associated with….Though like any professional I have dealt with fractious situations, criticism, pull backs and challenges & stiff pressures but I could say now I was able to handle, learnt and sometimes maneuver things gently for smooth traverse.

In the mean while I initiated my course of action by going through newspaper classified ads, naukri portal and contacting an elongated list of consultants…likewise Brian Lara….hitting sixer on every ball, I was smacking each & every opportunities as if the one I am ignoring could have been clicking for me. Irony is I got placed with an organization with which my anticipation was least because of varied communication channels and slumber with my follow ups. Truly speaking less expectation works my way a lot not only this time but otherwise as well…. Remembering the famous quote of Bhagwat Gita - कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोस्त्वऽकर्मणि॥ You have the right to action only and not to fruits thereof. Do not try to be instrumental in making your actions bear fruit (which will follow according to laws of nature). Neither let your attachment be to inaction.

Alas…!!!! Got the intent in my hand on 1st July and as I was walking out holding it in my hand gave me a feeling of optimism & perseverance to prove myself to the world that – Pooja is back with a bang again, climbed up to the professional elevator to attain a substantial spot for myself. With a feeling of enrichment and clutching the experiences gained so far I started leading my way ahead with generous footsteps.
