Do the Dishes to dis the Discomfort!

As tongue twisting as it sounds, dish washing is genuinely like that job which you hate doing, but have to get succumb to it, because you want to eat those scrumptious meals and pickles and all those greasy stuff, as many times as you want to, but there isn’t any house help available, especially amidst this lock down.

To be truthful, I have my whole family living together, and for us eating is like breathing(Exaggeration!),almost every hour every other person is found slurping or gulping something from the kitchen.

Moreover, we have our beloved pets living with us,so there are separate set of utensils for them as well.

Yes, our kitchen is open 24/7 for every creature, with our sink welcoming dishes like, one of those not so spacious but stuffed buses on the road which we see accommodating, countless passengers, as many as they can load, and even then, there is plenty of space left on the top, so they fill that area too, and if that is also occupied then we can see people hanging from behind with one hand supported by the handle on the back of the bus and the other hand is supported by serendipity.

So by now you can actually imagine the state of our kitchen sink, and how most of our kitchen looks like, right? And if you cannot picture that, and if it’s not the case at your home, then hats off to you all.

For me doing the dishes is actually a process, just like how I gear up for my work out, or how as health care professionals we gear up in our scrubs, don the gown and gloves and clear the area to perform any procedure.

Since, when I have involved myself into this business of dish washing, I have acquired this sense of poise and patience in me and have developed genuine respect and empathy for all the people who have been doing this job all their lives, just because they aren’t educated and that’s what they are suppose to do to make the ends meet for their family.

But isn’t it like a regular job?

If we can eat our food, go to work, dress well, sleep, and we actually do clean our shit all by ourselves regularly, why can’t we clean our utensils?sweep and mop our own homes where we live ? and wash our own clothes.

If anything, but what this rough time has forcefully taught us, is the value of each and every work we used to take for granted, which can be as small as cleaning and dusting our own room.

Doing the chores and cleaning up actually makes you feel better, and it is recommended to declutter your surroundings to declutter your mind.

It is best if we try and opt to do our work by our own hands or rather start being grateful every moment of our lives for everything that we are blessed with.

Also Do try the tongue twister mentioned in the title of this blog. it’s fun!.
