Oh, all in a day’s work is nothing special. It’s just the routine.
But a single day’s thoughts, expressions, learnings, observations can run into reams of pages. Jotting down some of the A to Z of a day of my life!
In a day, I…
- Accept the challenges that life throws my way.
- Accomplish miracles with a gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile or a hug
- Aggravate sometimes a simple issue
- Amuse myself by playing FarmVille
- Annoy the lil’ baby by not giving in to his demands
- Anxiously wait for the feedback on my new blog post
- Bewilder at the regressive programs on the television
- Bitch about anything that is not to my liking
- Calmly control the tantrums of a 7 year old
- Cheerfully agree to disagree with…KG!
- Confuse the issue…(
Sometimes…once in a odd while!) - Crazily look at the goodies on my virtual farm
- Curiously observe the magpies hitting their beaks on the glass pane ceaselessly
- Cynically appraise myself
- Determine the plan of action for the day
- Disappoint the 2 men of our home on the dining table
- Drink 3 cups of masala tea
- Enthrall the kid by reading him the stories from the Panchatantra
- Envy nobody
- Frustrate the maid with endless instructions to wash her hands before doing anything in kitchen
- Giggle out loud at the silly SMS jokes
- Gratefully thank God for all his blessings
- Happily cook
- Hope for the best in everything
- Irritate myself and others too
- Jealously guard my mini-library
- Kiss and make-up with an annoyed KG or AG
- Laze around too
- Love the feeling of being loved
- Madly play FarmVille
- Numbly brave the cold weather out here
- Optimistically look at things
- Peacefully sleep
- Quixotically refrain from using our Treadmill
- Refresh myself by listening to KG and AG about their day’s happenings
- Reject whacky ideas that keep floating in my brain
- Rejuvenate myself with a 10 minute nap
- Relax by listening to Jagjit Singh
- Rush to help
- Sadly remember some memories
- Shock KG when he sees me without my laptop
- Surprise the 2 men by suggesting, “Let’s not go to a South Indian food joint, this time!”
- Sympathetically listen to the official grouches shared by KG
- Thank God again
- Think, think, think…
- Touch base with family and friends
- Understand the importance of life
- Value my relationships
- Worry too!
- X-ray the new things a bit too deeply
- Yearn to be a kid again
- Zealously work.
It’s all in a day’s work!

Remarkable assortment of some daily chores, dear Shilpa!
I thought, “frustrating the maid with instructions…” would be followed by your new-found addiction of Farmville, without qualms…! But, you seem to have inscrutably missed that! 😉
Have a tranquil weekend ahead! Cheers!
@ Shrinath Vashistha : Thanks Shrinath!
Well, FarmVille is featuring thrice!! How could I miss that!! 😛
Wishing you a great weekend too! 🙂
Apt to your style A-Z of workday … amused to see Farmville feature twice and wait for comments to blog post once 😀 … justifies your earlier winning posts… gr8…
@ Dhiman : 🙂
FarmVille has to be there, na, when I am such a big addict!! 😀
Thanks! Let’s see… 🙂
Hehe…nicely done! And lol at Farmville. Why is it so addictive? (I myself am not addicted…but know people who are!)
This post has Shilpa GArg written all over it.. Interesting read, the all (A to Z ) in a day’s work 🙂
really good post, creative and very well written, emotions were a smile and laugh throughout the post
abcd of daily life…good one…
irritating others..yeah it’s everybody’s daily task
Yet another of your signature posts. A simple yet interesting read.
btw… why is farmville ranked 4th on the list… ??? What happened to the incorrigible ‘virtual kissan’… ???
Good to go, Shilpa.
You’ve explained the philosophy of your life.
Very creative indeed.
Nice take on the topic.
All the very best! Cheerios! 🙂
@ shilpa
Exactly shilpa didnt have the patience
Amuse myself by playing FarmVille
Madly play FarmVille
what is the third one.
You seem to have rubbed off nice on the 7 yr old’s ABCD and do u like actions movies last few post quite a lot of bullets.
Shilpa! that’s too much for a soul to accomplish in a day…this list would be so diminutive if applicable to me..
Wake up late
Work incessantly
Watch movies and
Watch some more movies..
Hei! this post’s like a quick peek into your daily life Shilpa! I liked it throughout reading it 🙂

All the best from a new entrant!
Seems you are having various flavours and aromas in life….. have great time with your passions ….. interesting list.
You like farming very much, don’t you? I have never played farmville, guess I should try it once.
It was a nice post. 🙂

Agree, I am the incorrigible Virtual Kissan, and thus FarmVille features thrice! :p
@ Karthik : Thank you so much Karthik! And welcome on “A rose is a rose is a rose!”
@ vEnKy: Oh God, that’s bad and sad!!
So, you see, you didn’t read it properly this time too. My guess is that you did Ctrl+F and typed FarmVille…found 2 entries and wrote them here!! Right!!?
Well the third mention about FarmVille is ….Crazily look at the goodies on my virtual farm!! 😀
Thanks for the compliment! 🙂
@Musings of a lonely traveler : You think so?? 😀

Shilpa ji my pet name is Venky my full is Venkatadri . I am 100% sure you wont pronounce it right 😀 God has given me a nice punishment for commenting without reading everyone who is commenting is congratulating me x-(
Surely shilpa i usually read all the post before commenting but lapsed for that time second time i read the post but that didnt get my eye. I am really sorry i wont repeat it.
@ vEnKy: Hi Venki!!
Oh, how can you be so sure?? I’d like to know that?? 😀
LOL…at your punishment! Oops, should not be laughing, though!! 😛
And that is the Bestest and only policy every Blogger should follow…I mean, commenting after reading the post!!
Good to see you!! 🙂
Cheers 🙂
Thats because my name has be pronounced in ways i cant even think of.The venkatadri = venkat-aa-dhri ( aa is like a west indian says yo maan and dri is like himadri sehadri) but people struggle to pronounce my name it happened even today in class. MY teacher was sweating to pronounce my name. these are the mispronounced names.
Venkatagiri
Venkat Adhi
Venkatraj
Venkatabadhri
Venkatachalam
Venkateshan
the list is endless………… 😀
After reading your post it made me think…boost must be the secret of your energy.! 🙂
cheers
Very sreative and different post as usual Shilpa! Lived it!!
i listen to Gulaam ali..i dont play farmville..i dont thank god,i dont cook happilly..i mean i dont cook..i mean if i cook nobody would be happy…i dont determine plan of action of anydays!! but i like the post 😛
i dint know what to comment.. 🙂
@venky’s and Shilpa’s conversation
sometimes even i dont read posts..i mean LOONG ones…i dont understand why should smeone write so long in the first place..(but this was easy to read..anywyas..)
and i hate myself for commentiong on posts without reeading it completely..so since past month i either read the whole post and comment or dont read it(and dont comment.. :P)
so u see i CHANGE i BELIEVE iN..something PJ…
well venky i like ur name ..venkatadri
narayanadri,vrushabhadri ..heard it in suprabhata…well this is all so irrelevant to the post
sorry shilpa di !!
@ vEnKy : I can understand, it would be tough for people to pronounce your name…but not ME!! 😀
My husband’s name is Kshitij (which is such a beautiful name and means horizon)… ‘K’ is silent and you will not believe the number of variant names he’s called by…
K-Shitij (Kay-Shitij)
K-Shitij (Ka-Shitij as in Karma)
Chhitij (Chh as in Chhatrapati)
and many more and some even plain and simple SATISH!!! Grrr…..
@ Gyanban : Ha ha!! 😀
That was a good one, indeed! 🙂
Welcome on “A rose is a rose is a rose!”
Cheers 🙂
@ pra : Thank you Pra 🙂
@ narendra : Thank you Narendra…for an interesting comment! 🙂
LOL…. “i mean if i cook nobody would be happy”…:D
I know what you mean…even my patience wears thin with loooooong posts…unless they are too interesting and captivating!
That’s the best thing to do…If you don’t read the post, don’t comment! I practice it too! 🙂
Thats interesting A to Z!! Enjoyed reading.
