  • The Unofficial CEO of the House

    The Unofficial CEO of the House

    Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.

    Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind…

    Me:
    “So this whole house would actually stop functioning… if I didn’t exist?”

    Interesting.

    Because somehow—
    everyone knows their work…

    they’ll do their things perfectly,
    no confusion, no questions…

    but the moment it’s something slightly outside that—

    everything just quietly…
    automatically my department 😌

    No one says it out loud.
    No one assigns it.

    It just… lands with me.

    No meetings.
    No instructions.
    No appreciation emails.

    Just silent expectations…
    and very loud—
    “Mummmaaaa…”

    And the confidence? Unreal.

    Things will be kept randomly,
    forgotten instantly,
    not even looked for properly

    and yet—

    final conclusion:
    “Mumma must know.”

    Of course.
    Because I clearly have a secret map of the house
    that even Google doesn’t 😅

    And the real fun?

    If everything is running smoothly—
    normal.

    Like that’s just how it should be.

    But the second something slightly goes off—

    suddenly…
    “Why didn’t you tell?”

    Ah yes.
    Because I’m not just managing the present…
    I’m apparently responsible for the future too 💁‍♀️

    Motherhood:
    where you’re not the main character…

    you’re the entire system running in the background.

    Running the house… silently, efficiently, endlessly 😌💛

  • Mom Life: No Off Button, Only Notifications

    Mom Life: No Off Button, Only Notifications

    How has technology changed your job?

    Technology has completely transformed a mom’s job…

    Earlier, I was just “Mom.”

    Now I’m Mom + IT support + Data manager + Notification analyst 😄

    .

    From “Mom, where are my socks?”

    to

    “Mom, the Wi-Fi is slow.”

    Because obviously, I personally control the internet of the entire country.

    .

    I now remember everyone’s passwords, usernames, IDs…

    Except mine.

    Mine is always wrong.

    Even when I type it with full confidence and emotional investment 😄

    .

    And yes, my favorite line has also upgraded

    “Sit properly… look educated!”

    Now applicable for video calls, online classes,

    and those moments when the camera suddenly turns on without warning 😄

    .

    But the real plot twist?

    School communication.

    .

    There was a time when one diary note ruled my life.

    Simple. Peaceful. Manageable.

    .

    Now… I live inside WhatsApp.

    .

    Class group.

    Section group.

    Whole batch group.

    Parents group.

    Teachers group.

    Dance group.

    Music group.

    Drawing group.

    Tuition group.

    .

    At this point, I don’t open WhatsApp…

    I enter a battlefield. 😄

    .

    100 messages unread.

    90 are “Thanks.”

    5 are “Noted.”

    3 are stickers.

    And 2 are actual important ones…

    which I will definitely miss 😄

    .

    And of course, that one message

    sent at 11:47 PM

    “Children have to bring chart paper, printout, glue, glitter, and full creativity tomorrow.”

    .

    Tomorrow means… in 6 hours.

    .

    Technology made things easier, they said.

    Yes.

    Now panic also comes in HD quality 😄

    .

    I’ve become highly skilled though

    I can cook, reply, scroll, track chargers,

    decode school instructions,

    and mentally manage 27 notifications

    all at the same time.

    .

    Basically, I’m running

    a small startup called

    “Family & Their Devices Pvt. Ltd.” 😄

    .

    No salary.

    No leave.

    No appreciation mail.

    .

    Just constant notifications…

    called

    “Mom… just one minute…” 😄

    .
