Except expect

A friend had been trying to 'tag' me off late... a strange phenomenon that has caught up with the blogger's world... where people are supposed to come up with confessions/things others dont know about them......whats strange is..... arent most blogs already that? people blogging things they are not comfortable 'talking' about for various reasons....? then why this "tagging" business all of a sudden? Anyway, before you start thinking if this is my tag... relax... this is something more sillier :)

So, I was talkin to another close friend about relationships... what makes/breaks them... and it made sense to think that most of the times its just the failure of the other person to keep with the expectations that throws things out of gear....while sometimes we fail to understand what we are to expect from the other person... most of the times its probably our inability to express it thats the cause of all problems... second time... if u think this is getting serious... relax... am coming to the point shortly..... and if u are wondering why am i over-talking :)..... comes from a blog of a friend i read recently... the fellow never shuts up... n so does his blog :)

Apparently, one relation that certainly can never be affected by this is the one between parents and their kids... there really cant be any parents who got the kids everything they asked for....and their really cant be kids who are blissfully happy about everything the parents get.

So this is it.... can you come up with something that you always wanted.... but you never got it from your parents....? Who knows, we might get extremely, improbably lucky and our folks might get to read this and decide to finally give it to us ? :) Or better, some altruistic friend trying to figure what to give for the next birthday, reads this.... :)

Mine is this remote controlled car. The whizzing sound making 4 wheels of plastic that consumes enormous amount of battery and goes around the whole house much to the disgust of more saner adults? I could never get my parents to get me that gizmo. And man.... am I in awe with it. Somehow, when I really did start making money and I could buy a really classy version of it, I could never get myself to buy it. I still want mommy and daddy to buy it for me :) So mom ( err..... am not sure if she would read this :) but then.... what the hell.... this is a wishlist and we are optimists) you know what to get me for the next birthday..... ( under another highly improbable event that you dont know me and are still reading this, am a fully grown adult male of 25 years and mentally healthy :) )

So go ahead.... leave those comments with all those wish lists and lets see whos the wackiest.....
( ok... so this idea of getting you to write here is not original and I borrowed it from dilbert blog.... so what? do you want your remote controlled car or no :P)

Nice idea...

Hmm lemme think...

The only thing I wanted but never got was something which was so costly that I knew I would never get it.. It was a bike... I know how to ride one but since I had a moped and I was leaving for Masters in 2 years, they suggested that it would be a waste to buy it for Rs.40k.. Made sense to me... So no complaints !!

I always wanted a video game ... never got one for some reason! But that child never died ... he wants to build a room in his house that has a big screen TV, a Bose surround sound and a PSn.
