Little Frivolous thingies….

When I was a kid, friendship was about finally getting that one toy I've wanted all year long from a friend. When I grew older, it was about finally getting that one big item that I've been craving for since all season. Now that I'm a bit older and (hopefully) wiser, I'm beginning to think that maybe that perfect gift is not about getting that big ticket item, but about getting that little frivolous something that will make you smile and not turn you off. When I say frivolous, I do not mean something completely useless. It has got to be something that little something that I've been meaning.

If I had to name few things (read frivolous things…) that turn me off, the list would comprise of lies, duplicity, failing to keeping up the word….. oh! eh, at times they are seamlessly interwoven. I am highly sensitive to these and seem to be carrying a heavier burden, might be just because of my perspective which is developed every day from a laundry list of sources. What makes these elements so sensitive is that everyone is guaranteed to explode into a major argument when questioned. Trust me I did experience this many a times…

To quote one , Of late X says “I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear.”
Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what X was really thinking at the time. Lies and plethora of them huh!! Guess what X was also bemoaning his inability to remember the promises (promises as simple as a treat, movie etc) he made. Ugh!!! Keeping up the promise might be tough but not remembering them is half a promise broken. Heights of duplicity, Boy!! I am nonexistent the rest of the time X is with his friends. Yep! these small things do matter a lot for me(I’M NOT ADVERTISING, this is an integral part of my story!).

My thoughts wandered. I waited for things to change….. bt…Stupid clumsy me.
