My long awaited blog my fellow Nalina blog fans :) This has been held up by busy days and busy nights.I was listening to Bone Thugs N Harmony last night: See you at the crossroads…crossroads…crossroads…So crossroads eh..well mine is looming..(Will update you some other time)
My dad decides to surprise me with his presence 3 days ago, after not seeing him for like nearly 2 months.
I walk in the door
Dad: Hello!!!
Me: (Shocked) Ohhhhh Hiiiiiii!!! What are you doing here?
Dad: Uhmmm..its my house you knowww..
Me: I mean I thought you were not coming back till next week..
Dad: Nah, It was all just to surprise you darling daughter.
I added that..he did not say darling daughter.
Dad: So where are we going for dinner?
Me: Uhmm, actually I just popped in to get something and I had already made firm dinner plans with a friend…
Dad:( with his most pitiful facial expression-its all emotional blackmail). You going out? Now? Ohhhhhh..his voice softens…and he blinks his puppy eyes thoughtfully and looks at me..
Me (felt a dagger come right through me): Actually if knew you’d be coming I would have cancelled all plans in a heartbeat and..mary had a little lamb…I went on and on..
Dad: It’s okay…next time then…but I want to have a word with you about finishing the vodka bottle I got your sister. (How conveniently say this and expect me to enjoy dinner!)
Then something weird caught my eye…as I was walking out the door, I saw my sister studying at the dining table. I was motionless for a while. Oh man. Ripley’s believe it or not-new entry: Saritha studying. I still think it’s for strategic purposes.
Well later on he (dad) had his word with me…in a nutshell, according to dad, iam an alcoholic with no direction in life and on how I should stand up and be counted. Basically a long speech about random things like the choices I’ve made in life and my blues lately.
The fact is, I reckon, iam blessed with abundance of patience from god, to put up with the consequences of my wobbly judgment of people/character and also abundance of patience to get where I want to be later on. It’s not an impractical goal, especially in a world full of determined people. I just like to flow freely as I hate doing it by the book. Nothing irritates me more.
In a shift of mind set and in the wake of my dad’s recent fury with me..iam way too intricate for my own good and only me can deal with me.So, now…actually how much should you really worry about me?
On a lighter note, my next blog entry would be about the life and times with Shayanee Indra Bond..although it wasn’t too long…but definitely worth penning down…because there is never a dull moment with you and the world would probably be twice as boring without you!!
