Life of bachelor

I live as a bachelor in a flat. My parents call me every day, and we have the same two-minute conversation.

Dad/Mom: Beta! How are you?

Me: I’m good.

Dad/Mom: Everything’s fine there?

Me: Yes.

Dad/Mom: You had your Dinner?

Me: Yes, Dad/Mom!

Dad/Mom: hows your studies going on?

Me: Good! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

Dad/Mom: Good Night!

Me: Good Night!

Isn’t it a quick conversation? Didn’t you find anything deep in it? I doubt most of you would have. But this is exactly what He meant.

Dad/Mom: Beta! How are you?

(I know you must be bored of this question by now, but we are always worried about you. Just listening to your voice everyday is an assurance for us)

Me: I’m good.

(It’s not easy. Its not exactly like home, but I’m managing somehow. I have my own ups and downs but don’t want to bother you with this stuff)

Dad/Mom: Everything’s fine there?

(I know you’ll say yes, but your voice betrays you. I can feel you’re not okay. Something’s bothering you, but I also know that you won’t reveal unless you want to. And If I press it, you might get agitated. We just hope you’ll let us know. We’re always there for you)

Me: Yes, Dad/Mom!

(You might have sensed it already, but you know I can’t open up. I hope you don’t force it. I’ll handle it myself)

Dad/Mom: You had your Dinner?

(Another stupid question, right? But you don’t realize that even a small stupid detail about you is important for us. I hope you actually ate and won’t just say yes so that I feel good. I know you don’t like your hotel food)

Me: Yes, Dad/Mom!

(Hotel food sucks. I really miss home food. I am tired of eating hotel food as well as outside food. I just want to eat mom’s hand food.

Dad/Mom: Hows your studies going on?

(Tell us if we can help you out, or atleast make you feel better by knowing what you are going to do. I’m confident that you’re capable enough to achieve what you want, but this is the least we can do for you)

Me: Good! Now, I’ve to go. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.

(I wish i could tell you exactly about my studies, But I need to take care of this myself.

Dad/Mom: Good Night!

(Keep your head up)

Me: Good Night!

(I’ll not let you down)

-I MISS HOME! 🙂
