To my memory, I have never been a demanding child. Never asked much or desired much from my parents. I was grateful with what I was given. But still if I did want something, I would make sure that I got that. This often happens with many of my friends since my school days. I used to be very proud of what I was, and very confident with the relationship I had with them. Sometimes they said that I was too rude and frank enough to hurt them.
In spite of all these things, I had loads of friends who loved me as I was. I am not sure whether I should say that I m lucky to have such good people who loved me and cared for me or to blame them as they never bothered to let me know the other side , I mean the giving side. Not jus friends, but even my brother, sister and now my Raaz. Most times, it was my sister whom I have hurt a lot but still she loves me whole heartily. After so many years now I realize how blind I had been, how I took things for granted. And of course I do realize how happy it is to be on the giving end and see the relationship getting nourished by being so.
I would say relationship is all about giving and receiving, not necessarily that from the same place we give, we will receive. I love traveling by window seat, and I never ever given that space to anyone. Sometimes many occasions in my life are too like sitting at the window seat and letting the wind blow on my face and I just love it. But now I realize how happy it is to let someone whom I really care for to take that space and enjoy. Though I realize this a bit late, I still owe a lifetime to all those lovely souls that have traveled with me sacrificing the window seat for me!!!
