SUNDAY

Sundays are usually fun days or relaxing days for most of us.I have often seen ladies and gents basking in sun during winters devouring vitamin D .They also seem to be enjoying sound sleep under the sun trying to make up for the deficient vitamin D.
But for most of the working ladies sunday is rather more hectic, more demanding,more tiring than week days.Only relaxation is that one can get up late than usual but for Jasmine ,a teacher in a reputed private school,a mother of three children,wife of a businessman, Sunday used to be a grilling day .Getting up comparitively late, dusting,cooking breakfast,massaging oil into children's hair,washing followed by preparing husband's or children's favourite lunch,bla,bla... ...and the list was unending.
Following this   hectic schedule she got time in the evening to go out for a movie or for a short outing back to be busy in kitchen again.
During her week days also,her days were totally packed.After reaching home and having lunch,she used to help her children with their studies. In the evening she used to take them to hobby classes.And days rolled into weeks,weeks into months and months into years.....and life went on.
Her chidren grew up and were placed in big cities.She was still working in the same school but her husband,a financer,had become a busy bee.He had lots of friends with whom he preferred to spend time on sundays.Jasmine remained busy during day time but couldn't
Pass her time on Sunday evenings.This resulted in arguments between Jasmine and her husband. Every time he promised to be at home the next sunday but got busy the next time.
Sundays started giving her heebie-jeebies.Sunday evenings threw her out of her wits.
She tried every weapon to convince her husband to stay with her on sunday evenings be it an argument or crying bitterly or throwing tantrums or even threatening him for dire consequences but all in vain.

She realised how difficult was it to change anybody's mindset .One day a inspirational video by a renowned guru popped up on her whatsapp. Although she was not a habitual video watcher but that day she preferred to go through that video.It explained that one's happiness depends entirely on oneself and not on others.If one wants to be happy, one has to find ways himself or herself to be happy .This inspired her to spend her Sunday evenings in her own way and let her husband enjoy his way.That day onwards, she started being happy even on sundays .
