Yes this point of no return is what my folks have successfully managed to reach with me. Yesterday I was given all sorts of crap for not sharing my plans with them regarding my trip down south. Well, as always I did not have much to say to that but, I did try telling my father the fact that I informed my mother as soon as the trip got confirmed which was more than couple of weeks before the deadline if one can call it that. I think my folks have lost all faith and trust in me, they certainly feel that there is no scope for change, my father yesterday confirmed this statement when he delightfully told me that I know you value your friends more than your family but at least you could have shared your plans with me, hell!! I came to know through someone else, yes he used the words someone else and that someone else is his own wife my mother whom I naturally expected to let my father know about my plans the moment I shared with her, but I think its all gone too far now. Its morning here, and I haven't engaged much in conversation with my parents. Ohh!! and before I forget to mention the reason behind them being absolutely pissed is that I live with my granddad and my mom's going to go back home tomorrow and my trip's for 8 to 10 days during which my granddad will be all alone so making arrangements for that is getting pretty hard and is playing on her head because she can't ask her elder brother to take care of his own father and keep him at his home for just 10 days, that is the kind of trouble there is in my family, you know all of this often makes me wonder that is it our destiny to always be at the sacrificing end, do we not get a say in this, do we just have to go on and bow down to the demands of the other person. I may sound selfish or something right now, but I am talking with reference to my mum's elder brother who for some reason cannot co-operate, who after taking care of my grandma and grandpa for more than 30 years of his damn life cannot share his own fuckin' home with my grandpa for 10 fuckin' days. Such is the plight that poisons this family to unimaginable extent. Yesterday, my mother made a very interesting comment after my dad got after her with the nagging complaint that something's not right about grandpa this evening, he's not even talking properly and while sitting at the dinner table he wasn't even bothered about the TV serials he so diligently follows. After so much prodding my mum finally came up with a response that made such perfect sense, she said of course he's not behaving normally after knowing that I am leaving this Sunday and then when my dad poked even further she came back with a scathing retort saying, that everybody else in my family is living their own lives, so what I can't. It was almost as if she was talking like a prisoner. Someone who had been forced to undergo things she deeply hated or something, some kind of regret that lay buried inside her which she refused to let out or speak about. I know that feeling very well, it doesn't take much for someone of my nature to understand something like this and recognize that feeling the moment it sprouts, I have been experiencing a similar feeling for quite sometime now, man!! how I wish my mum could be given an opportunity to write a blog or something like me because I can assure you if she did and expressed herself as freely as I am expressing right now I would give an arm and a leg to read it and keep reading it for eternity. There is just unfathomable regret and frustration that remains buried in that head and heart of hers which I would really want to know about but its just that she would never write about it or speak very openly either.
Anyways, there is no point dwelling on something that can never happen because down the road this dwelling turns into a regret which I for one refuse to have. I take nothing away from her for the mere fact that she has been through so much, taken flak from as far as I know every fuckin' member of this family and yet not retaliated the way many would after going through what she has or is undergoing as I write this. This vacation of mine has caused irrepairable damage on my family, it has confirmed my lack of faith and trust in them and has made them think I have my priorities all mixed up. Truth be told I don't even know how to handle this. Just like my profile statement I AM LOST, like seriously. I can probably go to any lengths of having infinite conversations with my folks on this, but something tells me that I already know the end result of that, the inevitable conclusion that I cannot change, something that's already been written in indelible ink for eternity. At the most I could spend the rest of my life trying to scrape it off but, whose to know even that wouldn't be good enough. I know I am sounding like a real quitter here, but this is different, quitters give up before trying, in my case I already know that my trying won't impact anything or anyone, its like the result has already been declared and I am just trying my best to make amends to that. This is not quitting, this is letting people attain the comfort in their beliefs. This is a futuristic statement in the present and the ones responsible to make changes in this futuristic statement are the ones who need to attain that comfort.
I think I will sign off now, enough said about the dilemma that surrounds this retarded life of mine.
Adios Amigos!!
Cheers!!
