AS STRANGE AS IT GETS

I never thought I de turn out this way someday. Somehow "ghar ka daal chawal" appealed more to me than any pizza or chicken or whtever novelty the city had to offer. I had never though that an die-for-an-outing person like me cld ever turn this way. Probably this is wht the call the magnetism of home. Besides Mom ws back after three days, and somehow I didnt wish to jeopardize the quite time I ws looking fwd to at dinner for anything superficial. I know tht my parents r not very appalled by the idea of eating out, nd my sis not being here I wsnt as enthusiastic either. Is this wht they call care? Probably.
I find it hard to say.........but I am becoming a home person like my father. And I de never even in my wildest dreams imagined it wld ever be so. But then this is wht they call genes and heredity. U acquire some traits without even realizing tht u do. I m becoming aware of the world around me, ppl around, and probably for the first time I can now differentiate ppl I really care nd ppl I ve just clung to as a habit.
This kind of thought in someway challenges my otherwise fiercely loyal temperament.........it forces me to think tht everybody is not right all the time, and no matter how loyal u r to a person it is never a good idea to believe everything one says and follow it as a command. Somehow one instinctively realizes it true for parents but refuses to see the same in friends. At least I did so.
And the funniest part is tht........parents r right more number of times and friends wrong. Coz obviously they r older nd more experienced.
Wow it seems like a plane n simple logic now...........but it took yrs to grill this into my thick skull. How foolish we can be at times.
Sometimes we baffel our own selves.........I do. I never truly understand myself at times...........and inductive logic (nd experience) says tht most ppl in the world r like tht.
And then we expect others to understand ur, wholly and at all times. Is tht fair. I think not. One shd be realistic of ones expectations of others........but emotions somehow do blur this clear thinking in moments of crisis and we go making one mistake after the other.
I hope tht this realization today wld help me someday in future. I pray it does.
Invariably it seems like am growing up eventually!!!!!
