The painting ordeal is over and done with. The painters have left. we have got our home back for ourselves.
For the last 33 days, 3 of them would be here from 10.00 am to 6.30 pm, every day. They would greet us with a 'namaskaar" as they came into the house. After that they went about their work silently. Meticulously too.
With the painters around the house, we had to adapt to a new routine, finishing most of the chores before they arrived so that we didn't cross paths. Literally .
We have always been a small family , not used to having too many people around us and are very possessive about our space. i was sure i would be glad to see the back of them.
33 days. one gets used to a situation , a routine, however mundane it maybe. if something has to be done, it better be done. no use fighting the situation.
33 days. i have gotten used to seeing these people around the house.
Today as they packed up their stuff and got ready to leave, it wasn't easy for me to say a "achha" to their "chalte hain".
