And the yellow parade continues,..:-)

Life is not the same as it was before,now i dont get time to do few of my favourite things :-( but then i know that with time things change and our priorities too,..since past few days i was not able to post as so many things were keeping me busy,..weekend was busy meeting relatives..and then once Monday is there theres no looking back,..with the daily chore of preparing breakfast,packing tiffin,and other stuff,..time just flies away...and by evening i just feel like winding up everything nd going straight to bed,..my cousion asked my today before leaving whether i will be able to meet her on Sunday,..i told her its not possible as saturday i will leave at 9:30 in the morning and be back by 9:30 in the evening,..because of the part time classes so Sunday i just want to relax and then my younger sis told her,...this is "Life in Metro"its not easy,..i couldnt help smiling when i heard this from my younger sis,..but then she is so right,..back in Singapore though i was at home doing everything on my own ,  i could take out time quiet easily for reading books,paintaing and so many other things but here though there is someone to help with daily chores still i get tired ,i dont get much time for my own things,..but one thing is there i am happy,..;-) i was happy back there too by doing things which kept me busy and now here daily grind of going to work,managing home,is keeping me busy,.
