Parents!

Parents can be so overwhelming , and if it is about marriage, relentless pressure. It is understandable from their perspective, they just want to get over their 'responsibilities' responsibilities is how they like to see it. More so before their retirement, retirement for them is like an end of an era. "Retired and Kids married" is like an ideal scenario for them.

But little do they know what their confused helpless kid is going through, I cant really explain everything to them, what is there to say anyway, yet some convulated explanation have to be given
"FUSION" we are building some mission critical stuff that will save the earth, we dont know when it will be over and till then I cant take leave...yeah right. "Dont give me that bullshit"
you have to say something, you cant just say you are not ready yet.......especially when you are approaching 30 and your friends are falling left right and center.

And then some emotional blackmail,
you dont know what being parents is like,
you are staying alone,
we know you wont be eating properly,
you have always been too careless ...
there is a time for everything........
People are asking questions "what are you waiting for?"....Very illogical .. how does it matter what a third person thinks,,, it should be just between you and me ... but thats easy to say for me. Parents will always be aphrensive, atleast with me, they have always been....

What is all this roaming around, wasteful expenses on a cycle ! "Ooty you could have visited later" "Whats the point in getting up a mountain or a forest all that has been explored already!"
"June first week you ought to be here, atleast for a day or two, we need to sit down and talk"

Okey, I will if I get a ticket...

I am not unreasonable I do feel the need to settle down , its getting lonely, I need a shoulder to lean on but why does it have to happen like this.
