Ah… well, you might find this one similar to a friend’s post (www.
purplestilletos.blogspot.com)! In fact, it is inspired from the same…
How many times does it happen that you feel irritated or frustrated,
and u end up doing somethings that u’ll regret later? Honestly, it
happens to the best of us, and I am no exclusion. This incident
occurred around May-June… One day, I had a presentation at
college for which we were expected to come dressed in Formals.
Naturally, it wasn’t possible to use the train that day since the dress
would be ruined long before I even reach college! So, I went for
broke, and asked dad if I could take the car to college! Well, this was
my first time, so dad refused and said that he’d drop me off! Now,
considering the fact that I am attending University, imagine how u’
d feel being dropped off by ur dad? Right in front of your friends? So,
i refused and just travelled using train! That was the end of it. I was a bit pissed, but didn’t show. Two days later, I had to go to meet a friend to take some notes from him, at 1030pm. However, the friend lived within a kms distance, so I again asked if I could take the car. Now, they didn’t refuse this time, but agreed on a proposal that someone should go with me! I thought WTF, am I a small child who’ll get lost driving a car? That, and several other such incidents, marked the beginning of a rebellion that lasted so long, it was unthinkable.
What provoked this? Well, u see, my dad had recently used our car to go for a
weekend outing with his friends, twice. Now, given the fact that I
had proven my driving capabilities by driving the entire family to
Mahabaleshwar(250kms away), I thought I should’ve been allowed
to take the car that one time to the college. On second thoughts, I was comparing myself to a driver, since I could drive only when the family needed to go some place! Wierd thoughts, i know, but this tends to happen when
ur mind us f**cked up! Anyways, I refused to drive the car, even
with the family. Although I had started the rebellion, I had no clue as to what were my demands or what exactly did I expect my parents to do? I was literally, A Rebel without a Clue! Even Shrem tried to talk me outta this, but I was
adamant.
Two months went by and I was still rebelling! However, as everything, even this had to end. Considering the duration, the end was pretty un-eventful. One day, circumstances such arose that there was no one else in the house who could drive, and we had to get somewhere fast. I was forced to drive the car. Well, things went ahead, and given that my vacs were on, everything became well and good as my dad then also allowed me to take the car to a movie with friends.
Reflecting back upon it, I feel really bad! Couldn’t I have prevented those several
cold-war-like moments that arose, whenever a topic related to me
driving was bought up, those 2 months of my and my family’s life? I
could’ve and I should’ve! But as I said, when irritated, we tend to do
things without giving them a second thought, although we might
later regret the same! So, what I’ve learnt from this is that its
pretty easy to let urself get carried away and pour all of your
frustration over your family, but aren’t they the one’s who’ve stayed
with you thru thick n thin?
Just think, is it right? Rather, is it
worth the trouble?
Goodnight!
PEACE!
