This happens to be my first post from home. I recently got my job and came home for a week long Pongal vacation. I long had a wish of having a bike for myself. And now that I had a job and things were in good spirits, I found it the right time to make my proposal back at home. No sooner had I talked to my dad about it did I realize that things were far beyond my reach. Every event that was happening was a remake of the Bommarillu story :). Probably, its not wrong that movies are inspired from real life situations. Everybody was against me and I struggle to make my stand.
I asked for a bike and my dad offered me a car. :P I was at first shocked and later dejected. I just wanted a bike to roam around and have some gala time, while my dad justified his offer to ensure security. I mainly needed to get consent from three people, my dad, mom and uncle.. and all the three of them were against this idea of a bike. My granny supported me as usual, but no big deal.. didn't work out. I simply can not comprehend why parents are always like this. They don't understand our concerns and situations. I struggled to remain adamant, convince them and go about with my request. But, they did not yield to me. I simply can't understand why they want to give more than we ask for when we are wholly satisfied with what we wish for. I blurted out every reason and explanation that favored me, but still failed to convince them.. Indirectly, I had a vehicle, but the keys were with them, the choice theirs but vehicle mine :P. They were wholeheartedly interested in what I didn't want. I wonder when things are gonna change and work out our way.
