The gentle violence of needing to be proven right
Honest piece Sid. Dil se dil pe lag gayi
Hard hitting, makes you feel ashamed of the times we had, that ... that half second of perverse pleasure of having proved right.
Worry +love+Pessimism=Need for respect /validation/acknowledgement
Thank you, Sudha. That half-second of perverse pleasure was exactly what I was after, so I'm glad it landed. Thanks for reading!
I think this is part of why I love my husband so much—he messes up and allows me ample opportunity of saying, “I told you so.” 😛
Never considered that as validation but you’ve given me a new perspective. Thanks! ☺️
Ha! That's the exact hit I was chasing: it's the people closest to us we most want to be right in front of. Love, or a mild character flaw. Probably both :) Thanks for reading, Mansi.
Love the stamping part. And how mother fed worry in form of food. We all need to keep performing to validate ourselves.
Thank you, Parul. Grateful that you read it so closely.
I only read closely or I don’t 😬
