The Vent

Lets just say there is a person "A". A went to a function at his relative's place. Now its a big family gathering with dinner and all so he meets many relatives while he's checking everything out.

A meets B. B is elder to A.

B asks, "What are u doing?"

B says, "That's not what I'm talking about. I mean what are you doing these days?"

A replies, "Oh that, well, nothing much...."

B cuts him short at that and says, "What! Nothing much? You must be doing something."

A says, "Ya, I am preparing for xyz tests while I have to wait for my placement for abc company."

"Oh ya, when is your date of joining?"

"Well he hasn't given a date of joining as of now."

Now A turns his head away with hope that this topic will be discontinued. Especially when B isn't A's parent.

B again pokes A, "So what happened about going to USA?"

"That, well i have just left the thought for now."

"Really? Now you're onto MBA here in India? Didn't you write entrance tests before?"

He goes on about how he must be serious about his future. And even goes to the extent of saying A is fickle minded, and that is why he isn't into anything now.

A turns his head to that and thinks [I can't write what A thought here, cuz if i did, i would have to mark this blog as an over 18 years of age - blog] :D

Almost everyone whom A meets asks him questions on the same lines and shows him unwanted, unnecessary and over the top pity which makes A mad. Not because he isn't doing anything, but because he is shown pity, as if he's lost his ability to reproduce recently, due to unnatural causes.

Now C meets A. I say C meets A, cuz A didn't really want to meet C.

C asks, "What are u doing?"

A says, "Eating dinner."

C says, "Ok. I mean at home what are u upto?"

A replies, "Nothing. Just blowing whichever way the wind blows."

And he smiles and gives the same pitiful look A hates.
