Realization.

It's only after something really drastic happens that you realize who is important in your life and in who's life you are actually important.

It's been 14 days since my grandfather passed away and I admit I'm still not over it. I don't think anyone in my family is over it too. Fortunately, I haven't been avoiding studies or messing up my college activities because of the mourning. Studying helped in distracting me. At least my C.G.P.A might finally increase.

What really hurt was the behaviour of the people around me. People who I considered as my close friends, who I thought knew me in and out, didn't actually know Madhuri Iyer. It hurt when outsiders found my grandfather's death funny and made some crude remarks.I have a policy in my Sense of Humour Act, 2009 that jokes on funerals are strictly prohibited. People haven't seen me like this and yeah it's depressing to be depressing and see depressing faces around always, I understand.But it hurts double when your own people don't understand what you are feeling and don't bother.



But what pisses me off is that it's perfectly alright if people crib about their problems which are like, nothing in front of death. Boy problems and rubbish is more important, it seems. I'm not expecting sympathy and any talk that "Hey, look up there, grandpa is watching you, don't cry". I'm just expecting some sensible moments of peace around me. I lost someone, and I'm not asking everyone around me to tell me to cheer up or some crap. But they expect their problems to be more severe than this. There has been not a single soul to whom I can openly crib, be upset over and share what I'm actually feeling.

It's all about adjusting. All my life I've adjusted to all my friends, family etc. My ego had to be crushed in the mud to meet the demands of others. And whenever there's a fight, it's me who has to apologize even if it's not my fault. Whenever I want to do something or go somewhere, it never happens. If I'm not well, it's perfectly okay. If others aren't well, I have to pamper and be all nice to them. Still, I'm termed selfish. I'm termed bitchy. And this is despite me adjusting to others always. I do listen to others when they are sad, rude, pissed, happy any damn emotion. So why isn't anyone around when I need them? Doesn't sacrificing everything mean friendship? I have as big an ego as others have. But I can't ever be egoistic and avoid my friends just because we have fought or don't bother when my friend is sad. Now it seems I never had any self-esteem. I force myself to change, I tell myself to be strong and be cold to others when they are cold to me, but I just can't do it.

When will the time come when I get to do something which I want and which makes me feel happy? When will the time come when someone understands how I'm feeling without me telling them? I'm not asking for a boyfriend. I'm just asking for a friend who knows me inside out and is with me always to share my happiness as well as sorrow?

P.S- I'm not hinting at school/college/blogger friends over here. As for whom I'm hinting at, it's none of your business.
I know, it's a long post. Let me crib at least on my blog space.

People are all selfish... at least this way you can figure out who your actual friends are :)

The point is that u have realized ..what it is like, so forget what happened ..and make sure that u don't care about such behaviors from next time onwards !

Everyone goes through this. You're never alone. Without even hinting at school/college/blogger friends, the moment you express your feelings, there's someone to hold your hand and say I'm there. Finding that someone for some takes time, some find them early. Not a boyfriend or a girlfriend, but just a friend to walk with you.
I hope you feel better soon.

I'll try 2 be truthful said...

first of all , i was quite shocked to hear about people who make fun of someone's demise, grandfather or not.

i know you are going through the phase " mere sath hi kyu? maine to kisi ka kuch nahi bigada" .

i also had tried to change for the sake of others, but now i just say " yup i'm selfish and non caring " bass fir kya chinta.

ps- self pity is worse than many other things . :)

Nikhil Menon said...

Moments like these are a great source for a reality check..On whose with you and whose not..And I guess you do have a good enough indication of it by now..

Just take it by its stride,accept the fact and move ahead..And you were very close to ur grandpa,so its as well not surprising to see,you haven't come out of it.. Its okay madzzi.. :) Time will bring a change..And yeah,we are all there,besides( I am definitely with you,my friend.. )

Take care.. :)

I am sorry if it was my comment that also contributed to this. It wasn't meant as a joke. It was just like how ppl say "He's at a better place now."

So I mentioned parties and stuff. I really liked him from the post.

Please accept my apologies.
-----------------------------
And of me and others who might have hurt you...

Well we do not regularly face death. So we are a bit inept at appropriate response. We fumble, though we feel deeply. Then we blurt, or avoid. Please forgive.

Time will heal.

Me said...

Arey! Mads... take your time... its just been 14 days... dont bother what everyone else feels abt it... it is ur grief... and u decide when to cry, share and feel it. You deserve spending time over it only then you will be able to get over the sadness... ofcourse u can never get over the loss... but accepting is imptt... aur time ke saath ho jaayega

Dont feel guilty for expecting ppl to understand...

Actually forget it all... naam batao jisney mazaak udaaya... chal milkey uski taang todtey hain... LEFT waali teri... aur RIGHT waali meri...

aur abt the friend thing...arey hum sab hain naa... main, niddzzi, peter aur AD... unn sabkey behalf pey, we are always there yaar... tu chilla, daant, maar, ladd, ro, hass... hum tere saath hain... :)

Aa chal jhappi paa... fir taang todney chaltey hain... ;)

NR said...

Those that were important yesterday are not important today...n those that are important today will not be important tomorrow!! Its the truth of life. One can never please everyone.

Maybe this is the time that u r waiting for ..its just that u r not able to realize or understand it...try to always see a glass half full, things will b easier.

I wish u all the very best...things should go your way!! Cheers!!

It'll get better only with time. but SCREW those who dare to think this is a laughable matter from ANY bloody angle. WTF?!! Don't be trampled over sweetheart, go out and GRAB your righ to have a big ego and your right to say what you want, when you want.

P.S. I love you :)
