Take on the Control Freak:

Had a wonderful (but incomplete L) trip on the thanksgiving weekend. Wish there were more such days! On the return leg, had more fun ...courtesy GK... thanks for driving all the way dude! ...had fun at your expense sorry about that......but then you asked for it J

In between all the noise and fun ....I was proved wrong once again. It all seemed very familiar and that’s probably what made me speak a little too soon. The ingredients were all there at the start ... the voice and the words ...the gestures and the emotions ... Why does he get so frustrated? and then I asked "Why do you get so frustrated?" ... without giving a lot of further thought I told myself ... he doesn’t like it when things don't go the way he wants ...he wants control....

What I failed to see was the self-control he was showing ... he is trying hard ...and for most part he is being successful. Although many might disagree, he was unusually calm for a person he is or should I say ...for a person he was ...Made me happy for him and sad that I jumped the gun right when I was required to show patience. Wish time brings calmness into his life...... that would only make me envy Naveen even more.

Thought for the day: Introspection. I thought I knew what it was ...but am realizing I am a bit scared to go there. Hope the day I really meant a good big "THANK YOU" to my dad is not far.
