adversity necessity invention

A standard question in any job interview is - "Which is the greatest challenge you've faced in your life and how did you handle it?" I have a brand new answer for that question.

Yup, without a shadow of a doubt, this is the most difficult and challenging time of my life. Shuttling betweent the hospital, work and house, keeping our spirits high when every cell in your body is crying to just give up, handling doctors and a hospital that works with the principle of a coffee place - something like "there is always time to do that later", the mental and physical stress of it all....and all this in a brand new chapter in my life - the supposedly best one yet!!

One thing good has come out of it..i'm learning to cook...what I've not done in 29 years, the last 3 weeks have necessitated this transformation and I actually seem to have the knack for it...I managed to make decent chicken!!

where is the light at the end of the tunnel..cmon..get there fast...

Not quite what I expected

It's almost 1 month since I moved to Frankfurt. I expected us to have the time of our lives. Well, it hasn't quite worked out that way. Been a horrendous time so far. I expect this to continue for 3-4 more weeks. Things should settle down then and we should start having some fun!!
