Family Man.....ME?
baap | 21 August 2004, 8:18amA nice evening at home with the family is something i will always love...today especially there was this weird sense of absolute normancy in the house! I tried to break it by acting all crappy and all...but i had no reason to act crappy. The day was genuinely good today! It seemed ideally NORMAL. I am the last word in being NORMAL! If there was an award for NORMAL people i would get it! But i wouldnt want it because then i would be normal no more, apparently there is an award in some small town in britain for being Normal, Jeez the things Bored Brits can come up with!!!
Anyway...so yeah it was a perfectly Normal Day as far as maintaining the Family ties are concerned, i entered home...after college slept for about an hour went out with a friend fr a cuppa chai, and then when i came back home...i see my mom, dad and sis all sitting in the drawing room TALKING! I was like WHOA! What happened..?Who Died?? Which FD do we have to break now? Something had to happen, for them to conglomerate in the same room and FRIGGIN TALK man!
Talking hasn't been the high point in my family, i mean we don't believe in "Spending quality time with each other" and all that...(could have used the word bullcrap/bullshit....but i refrain from doing so...cz i realise that NOW alot of families actually do it!), with a father whose on the SEA 6 months in a year and 3 on land, all those 90-100 days are subconsiously realised as Quality Time...we know it but we dont say it....because once its said...somehow sounds like this "Hogan Family bullshit" where everything is soo Hunky-Dory n all!...YUCK i hate that in families..."Oh...you need to spend more FAMILY time, Lets Talk"...Doesnt work with me...although i do understand the necessity of it being thought of...but saying it explicitly...just fizzles all the genuine togertherness in it.
But today was a very rare DAY...apart from the balanced talk i had with my father about Doppler Radar systems his ships use, and my mom's gossip about the next-door neighbour's sister-in-law's niece's daughter's friend's cousin's next-door-neighbour's flopped marriage, me my mom n dad sat down to have a drink. MAN it was GOOD! I had 2 pegs of Antiquity Genuine Whiskey, and "did cheers" with me dad! My mom was cribbing about how the taste of bacardi sucks!!! Although later on, she filled her glass up 3 times over! She's high now btw, and my sister very "not-knowingly" and respectfully sipping on Thums Up...AH! it was a decent, noble, elegant, Family Night at Home..with the weather just right outside.
Sounds too good doesn't it, yeah it was....anyway Reality checks into Family Motel and screws it all up. The situation becomes humble -to- cut-throat in 5.6 seconds! Mom makes high-funda dialogue to dad ---> "Why do you always shun away from confrontation" kathey, and Dad turns a blind eye...and retaliates by maroing the crappiest chauvinistic dialogue ever ---> "If you respect me, you would listen to me" kathey. So basically:
Mom **Flips,.... stomps away to the bedroom , lights a fag**
Dad **Cares a Damn, sipping on his Antiquity Rare Whiskey with a plate full of "Allu Dumpallu and Gatti Pappu in front of him** ;
Sis **Confused on her being a teenager, and expecting a divorce, still sipping on Thums Up, tried to take a quicky of the Bacardi, I intercepted..MUAHHAHA**
Me **Saw it coming right from when i entered the house and saw the family sitting together, But Yee-haw i gotta DRINK! AWESOME**
PS: Lite on the divorce part, Teens man...theyre one confused buncha people!
