Complains/shikayat/expectation

Another one in continuation with my earlier post on expectations.

Jai and Aditi as different as different can be. Rahul would wonder, what is with this girl, whenever we meet, she has a big list of complaints/items ready, I want this, I want that, etc etc. He would wonder, why does she expect so many things from me, she is always complaining, you forgot to wish me on my birthday, you have come so late today, you have to give me a treat for your promotion, you didnt call me yesterday, you didnt ask me this, that and so on. He would think, her expectations never end, her demands never end. He would often tell her that had forgotten that he was humane and not a complaint box, here comes Jai, let me start cribbing, let me start telling him all my complaints.

Whereas, Aditi would wonder, what is with Jai, he never complains no matter what I do, even if I am late, he never asks me to spend more time, he never asks me to do anything. He always says do what you are comfortable doing. He just never complaints at all. He almost behaves as if we are strangers!! (Now that was an extreme statement to make).

Here we have two people reacting in a completely opposite way to the same situation, all that comes to my mind is,

Unhe humse shikayat hai ki hume unse shikayat hai
hume unse shikayat hai ki unhe humse koi shikayat hi nahi :)

Subhan allah !!

Friends back then n now

Back then,

Friends were someone whom I spoke to daily
Friends were someone who emailed me daily
Friends were someone are there to share my happiness
Friends were someone who were always honest with me
Friends were someone who always wished me on my birthdays
Friends were someone who always understood me
Friends were someone who were to be judged
Friends were someone who had to be good people

But now,
Friends are someone who I may not talk to daily
Friends are someone who are there to share my pain
Friends are someone who are sometimes dishonest
Friends are someone who always forget my birthdays
Friends are someone I have to bully to wish me on my birthdays
Friends are someone whom I always understand
Friends are someone who are not to be judged
Friends are someone who are my friends inspite of their faults
Friends are someone who just like me are imperfect
