Life-A Dream

Life, a four letter word that encompasses a persons lifetime, and gets quite intriguing sometimes. In my younger days, the question "Wat will you be after growing up in Life?" used to bother me a lot. Out of my fascination for great heights and luv for blue sky, i always used to reply with a glee on my face and high Spirits..'A Pilot!'

As a Child, I would get paranoid by the single thought of loosing my way or staying away from my mother for one night. I would have several tiffs with my younger sister over who my mom loves more. I would take my mom for granted to feed me my meals and she obviously loved it. Its Ironic, now as an adult i feel embarrassed by my mom kissing me or hugging me, while i used to jump on her lap and embrace her in my small arms every day i returned from school. I could play with my Dad and listen to him for hours without getting intimidated.

Its all like a beautiful dream to me that went past me before i could realize its importance. Now, as a Software Engineer, I ask myself, does my life lie in Coding those 1000+ pages of code all along. When i speak to my dad now why is it only about, my Tax filing problems or my investment problems and not really have a friendly chat. Why do i always crib about my mom being too interfereing when she tells me wat to eat and wat not too?? Is this a part of growing up? I would rather have remained a kid all my life if its such a wondeful thing to be and then if someone asked me 'What would you like to be when you grow up??'. I would Say 'A KID' Yes!! you heard it right a KID again. I would not want to grow up.

Well I must agree with you ...even I crib when my mom tell me what to eat and what not to eat and then the continuous feeding all the time (eat this eat that … and the problem is the food is so tasty and yum that finally after cribbing I end up eating also..) and the most annoying part is afterwards she would complain i am gaining weight. But we overlook the fact that she does all this cause she loves me. Sometimes it’s very painful when we speak rudely with mom, then I go and say sorry to her afterwards and she forgives and this food cycle goes in a loop.

It’s like

while true
{
Eat this;
Eat that;
}

..with no condition to come out of the loop. :)

Oh and that tax consultation with dad, damn its so true, sometimes it makes me feel guilty.
