I was chatting with a friend of my son tonight. He was a little confused. He was afraid to talk to his parents about his problem in munching entrance study materials etc... I talked to him for some time and I told him all I wanted to tell to my son and never did. I told him that every teenager in Kerala cannot and need not become a doctor or engineer, I told him that it is not important what you do, but how u do it, and he should never be afraid to tell his problems to his parents because they would surely not want him to suffer and be depressed. He was quite nervous, but when he said goodbye, he was practically smiling.
Yes, it seems that I am good with people in general, I can reason with most people... and then why I am not able to do it at home? Why I am not able to relax? Why do I get annoyed even though all I want to do is to embrace him in my arms and tell him that I love you? Or hold my wife in my arms and whisper I love you for a thousand times? Why do I get uptight and serious? Is it because I want to appear important to them as my wife keeps telling me? Or is it because if I also loosen up, we will become a looose family - because they both are never serious? Or because I know that they will immediately give me list of demands ranging from mobile phone to Rolls Royce!
Or could it be that when u r with ur own, u always expect too much???
I will tell you when I crack the puzzle :)
