After 9 months!

I know you guys might think what after nine months? No its not what just propped up in your mind.;) I am talking about the 9 months I was a housewife. For the first time I could imagine how my mom feels staying all day alone at home doing the insistent household chores, waiting for her husband and kids.
I remember Dec,1st was the first day of my role as a home maker. Cooked food, cleaned the house and rest of the day was spent watching the Idiot Box, surfing net etc. This started to be my routine stuff. Slowly boredom started creeping in. A temporary solution was joining the 3D Animation class. Besides, I also started looking out for a new job. Like sprinkling salt over the burnt, every offer that I received required me to relocate to a different city.
This phase made me realize the importance of being employed. It's not just about getting monthly income but there are many strings attached to it like financial independence, exposure, personality development etc.
A must say, this period was a good enough time for me to accustom to the new life. Learn t a good deal of palakkad iyer cooking. Got a chance to visit Singapore without wasting my leaves.
Today I have a wonderful and exciting job, but I have made sacrifices for the same.
There are legitimate pros and cons in being a home maker and/or being employed. I feel as on today that every woman should be at least financially independent and smart enough to live life on her own if a situation ever arises.(No Offense To Anyone):) And I think at least every house wife will support me in this.
