PARENT APPRECIATION POST

 


22nd MAY 2021, 2:17 PM:

When I say I got lucky in the parent’s department, I mean it. I don’t know how they do it, but they never fail to amaze me by doing things silently. I have always been a confused and indecisive child, and I don’t think I will ever stop being that, because I know I have a place to go to. I have a home.

Someone rightly said that a “home” doesn’t always have to be a place, it can also be a person, an entity or even a notion. My home has always been Aai Baba and I never plan to change that. It’s been a rough time for the three of us, more for them. And it was all because of me. Yes, we’re almost past that now, but I don’t think I will ever be able to forgive myself for the two years of absolute stress I let them go through. But they did. They forgave me, time and again. 

Which is why I know for a fact that I got the best parents, the best friends and the best supporters. Because I don’t know whether I will be okay in the future, but they sure do. And they will take leaps to make sure that that happens. I don’t think I will be able to repay them for what they are doing for me, but I will prove myself. Not for me, but for them. I’m not saying I will go on a path that I resent. All I’m saying is that I will do all the things in my power to make them proud. I might not have specific goals as such or I might not be determined to reach somewhere right now, but I sure as hell intend to keep the promise I made to myself today.

They made me shine, now it’s my turn!

ARE YOU BEING SARCASTIC OR INSENSITIVE?

Image
Imagine, you just had a rough fight with your best friend over something sensitive and you both bump into each other at the same party that weekend. You still haven’t resolved the fight and are not on talking terms with each other, but there are way too many mutual friends at the party and you can’t avoid them. You and your friend are standing with the same group of people and suddenly your friend goes, “It’s funny what happened yesterday!” and goes about saying something you wouldn’t imagine. He/She starts to talk about the root of the fight you had. She blurts out something superlatively offensive. Oh but wait, everyone’s laughing! Calling your friends out on their insecurities is not fun guys. Even if you think, it is world class humor, trust me it doesn’t hurt less, than being stabbed in the back. Sardonic humor might be your way of relating to the world, but let me tell you, the world doesn’t work that way. People get hurt, they might even lose their self-esteem. It might be a...

INFIDELITY AS I SEE IT

Image
INFIDELITY. IS IT A BIGGER CONCEPT THAN WE THINK? Is Infidelity found only in relationships? Or is it bigger than that? Infidelity is defined as “Violation of a moral obligation” Do we morally oblige ourselves at times? For an example, let’s take into consideration a boy named Rahul. He is in the 12 th grade, he has a stable relationship with his parents and is also very focused about his career. He isn’t overly ambitious but has some goals that he wants to fulfill. The day arrives. The day when he has to go for an internship interview which is going to award him with such a good experience. He decides he wants to go, but on that day, he tells himself, “I will get into a good university, no matter what.” And without any internal cross-questioning, he decides against going for the interview. The problem here might be anything- subconsciously being anxious or having a mild fear of failure. But don’t we all do this? Decide one thi...
