1. Lose weight
2. Learn cooking
3. Learn German
The first, you may say is not imperative, but i have really put on a lot of weight after A's birth and have a big tummy, and if i don't make the effort now to get back in shape, i might not get the time in Zurich. So today i hit the gym after 3 and 1/2 years. And was it tiring!!! Before i had S i could run for half an hour and do all the weight machines (though at low levels) pretty easily. Today i ran for 4 mins!!! and then took 5 mins to recover. After 6 mins of cycling and some few stomach crunches i was ready to retire for the day
The second initiative went no better. My cook does not come on Sundays and i thought i will take the opportunity to cook . I started with the easiest Bibibelebath. I have the powder from my mom's place and all you really need to do is boil vegetables, dal and rice and then add the powder and imli and salt and you are done. This took me 1 hour and 15 mins and i forgot to add half the vegetables and managed to fill the entire sink with dirty dishes. Am feeling very worried suddenly!!!
The hubby manages to cook easily, he made noodles and a schezwan dish in half the time in the evening. Does anyone know any good Indian dabbawallas in Zurich? Help...
On the third point, a colleague's wife who is also moving to Zurich has passed on the lead of a German teacher in my locality. Hopefully will pick up the essentials before April.
Well, Auf Widersehn then!!
