Episode 1 : When Even Lord Krishna Would Facepalm at My Morning Routine

Lord Krishna

spirituality…but with a sense of humour series -part 1

morning resolution

Every night, I promise myself:

“Tomorrow morning, I will be peaceful, graceful, composed… a proper spiritual being.”

But the next morning?

Chaos

Pure, certified, ISO-marked chaos

I wake up with full intention to be a calm devotee

I chant “Krishna” with soft devotion

I stretch my arms like I’m ready to greet the universe

And then the universe greets me back with… reality

Scene 1: The Tea Catastrophe

I walk into the kitchen like a yogi

I put water to boil like a sage

And then — BOOM — my spoon falls, my tea spills, the pot overflows, and suddenly I’m no longer spiritual

Somewhere in Vrindavan, lord Krishna pauses His flute

Looks down

Facepalms gently

lord Krishna: “Beta… this is how you start your day?”

---

Scene 2: The Dupatta Disaster

I can never find it

EVER

Every goddess picture at home shows them looking divine, composed, everything perfectly draped

Meanwhile, I’m running around like:

“Where is my dupattaaaa?!”

(lord Krishna sighs. Radha pats His shoulder.)

Scene 3: My Fight With Household Objects

Everything annoys me in the morning —

the fridge door, the broom, even the innocent bucket

The fridge door bumps into me once and I glare at it like it insulted my ancestors

lord Krishna watching:

“Arre… why is she fighting with the fridge?”

Sudama: “Maybe it started it?”

Krishna: “NO.”

---

Scene 4: The Phone Reminder Drama

My alarm says: Meditate

I hit snooze

My second alarm says: Be calm

I get irritated

Krishna quietly puts His flute aside

Shakes His head

Tells Himself:

“She’s still buffering. Give her time.”

---

Scene 5: Husband Enters = End of Spirituality

Just when I breathe in and try to center myself…

He asks the one question that destroys my entire inner peace:

“you haven’t made the morning tea?”

And all my divinity evaporates like steam

lord Krishna definitely facepalms at this point

Not gently

FULL POWER 😂

Final Realisation

By the time it’s 10 a.m., my spiritual plans are gone, my peace is kidnapped, and I’ve lived three lifetimes of drama

And yet…

Somewhere above, lord Krishna still smiles

Because He knows —

beneath all this chaos —

I’m trying

Maybe that’s all devotion really is:

trying, failing, laughing, and trying again

here's to conclude with a disclaimer

this is a pure view about myself and the circumstances which i feel as a challenge to control my inner feelings and emotions

my attempts to respond to situations or to people which i fumble but am still trying

this may not be with everyone but with people like me who are still taking baby steps towards leading a meaningful and spiritual life with always keeping their gods or spiritual gurus by their side as a guide to look up to in stressful situations

bye for now

much love … stay happy … stay blessed .. always
