Have I become weird or is it totally annoying to wish
someone on a Whatsapp group? I feel I will be judged if I don’t wish someone. I
feel there are prying eyes on each group who have nothing better to do than
check who is wishing whom.
Just today, there are three people that I have to wish on a couple of family Whatsapp groups, and guess what, they are not even in the group! It is like being pushed to call someone else's phone and screaming so that the birthday girl hears her wish. Do such wishes even count?
When I wish, I really want to wish. I hate being
forced.
On being forced, Karwachauth is around the corner! I have
expressed my views on a fast that puts you on gunpoint and tells you that if
you don’t fast your husband would die! Really? I have those superpowers? Thank
goodness I don’t come from a family that fasts on various occasions believing
they will be rewarded for their good Karma just by doing so. How rebellious I would
have been in that case!
Forcing someone, passing sarcastic remarks, saying ‘oh, you
don’t remember me’ is such a put-off. I am not an awesome person, I am not
sweet, and I am certainly not meant to please people around. I am very selfish
and I will do what I feel like. Stop forcing me!
I use to hate my mother tell me what to do. She came under
my wrath quite often. The Boy understands my trait very well, and so he has
never ever told me to do anything. Any ‘order’ is met with such scolding that
poor fellow doesn’t ever utter a word. I hate being told to do something so
much that even if someone asks me for a glass of water, I hate it!
I can do a million things for a person if I feel like doing
it. Putting me under pressure puts the said person in my hit-list. Sarcastic comments
go very badly with me and I tend to act in exactly the opposite manner. If I want
something, I ask people very politely keeping their comfort zone in mind and
having very low expectations of things being done. All I expect in return is
being able to live my life the way I feel like.
Is this a rant? No, this is general observation from what I have
been seeing around me lately. Only my family and because I love my Boy, so his
family, can make me do things. Other than that, I owe nothing to anyone. Infact I
wish on Whatsapp groups only because I don’t want our families to get rude
remarks on our behaviour, you know, if there was a parent-teacher meeting a.k.a a wedding around the corner.
How people live in a made-up society of I-called-you-for-dinner-so-you-call-me-for-dinner is something I will never
understand. The forced give and take is abhor-able. No one wants to do it yet everyone follows the societal norms. You can call me an outcast if you wish, but I will do what I feel
like.
Over and out!
