It's like this. We're pretty much living in a lovely well-furnished picturisque prison with one mad lady who is out to make everyone under her roof vegetables. So first she says youre always wrong. Whatever you say, she contradicts you. She's sarcastic, dominating, bitchy and plain downright evil.. She has guests at home, no problem, she takes you out on the road in person and yells at you, hits you if she feels like it - in front of everybody. You cannot say a word in front of her, when she's around you keep mum, or she'll hold it against you.
Her guests, she'll entertain oh-so-selflessly. But for them, she expects you to leave your friends and come home by 8 pm right on dot at dinner time, on the dinner table so that you dine with them(her guests). And she expects you to be on your best behaviour. She'll throw your friends out if you have them tag along. When she's entertaining her guests, she wants it to be flawless, perfect. Your friends are lesser beings at this point of time, unworthy of her hospitality in front of her esteemed fucking guests. Your guests are just tiny little dust particles in her eye, itching, bothering her . All she has to do is simply wash them away so that everything goes her way again. Flawless.
Its almost like a mini caste system out here. How do you deal with that?! its so fucking hypocritic. If she wants to deal with you, she goes through different means of communication. By God, i swear this happened - on the dinner table we're all sitting around and they wanted to make conversation with me. They ask question to my dad and ask him to ask me, when i'm sitting Right in front of them!! How do you react to that? your own frigging grandparents!! what the hell is going on?...And to think i've been in town barely a week.
Wow i really feel welcome here....Sheesh i wish i could just go back to Pune or something. At least i can be in my own world there and not bother anyone or be bothered anymore over there... Here, they're just gnawing into my space. Its absolutely crazy. Theyre drving my poor dad Crazy. I cannot bear to see him like that. He wasted his life away in htis house. 50 years, probably if this goes on, i'll be able to present to you the first live vegetable of my family. My mom would probably go next, she's able to hold out better ; pretty strong she is. She tries to shake the evil force off n all. Fights with it once in a while too.
Gosh why does it have to be like this. For once can't life ACTUALLY not be all rose and no thorn?

Take it in positive spirit that u have got a chance to adjust with people because of whome u exist down the linage. Take it in positive spirit that u need to learn from each such experience. Also understand that what we call is freedom of sort .. like being oneself is also a kind or prison which we have adapted to and feel as a free world. Know that 2 generations down people would have different games to play different topics/technologies/music to discuss, and due to natural limitations that we have of the old age.. we might also get sidelined by them!!
its the other way round here dude. She Sidelines US!!. We're the useless good-for-nothings. And there isn't must to learn than i already have in my 21 years of living with her. Luckily for me, i don't have to most of the year because i study outside. But what about my folks who are constantly in that house, day in and day out?
