its different this time....

Well, i dont really like cribbing about things... this didnt happen, that isnt what i wanted and all that stuff! But i understand that sometimes this is the only thing that you can do to make you feel good about something.

I have this friend of mine who is hell of an achiever but just cant stop cribbing!!! Hes in a premier B-School now and all that he complains now of is that his life is crippled and he doesnt get to eat what he wants!! I understand that staying away from home is difficult, specially for those who have been pampered at home like my friend, but dude you cant stay at home forever!! You have to step up and make your destiny. And its for your own future.

We all adjust to situations, try to fit into the surroundings for our survival just to get the best out of life. If we spend half the time cribbing about it, even the future that we envisaged wouldnt be as cheerful as we think it would have been. Coz, by the time we reach our "future", we pick up the habit of cribbing!! And then, it would be our relationships that we crib about.

Infact I think that its a vicious circle... we aspire for something, we crib about not getting that thing... we get it.. and then we crib about that thing. I have an instance here again, I have a friend, 'happily' in love with her boyfriend. When she was single, she used to call me everyday to express her disstisfaction of not getting a boyfriend!! (my mom almost thought I was having an affair!!). So, when her efforts paid off and she got herself a boyfriend.. the 1st 2-3 months were "lonely" for me :D! Soonafter, she resumed her daily routine of calling me and this time the discussions focussed on how insensitive her boyfriend was! Man!! Why cant we keep our expectations out of somethings??? She has till date 3 boyfriends to her credit and she even cribbs that!!!!

Anyway, the point of focus was cribbing and not my sweet friend! We all say that Im not the one who likes cribbing, but given situations, sometimes its the best thing to do to console yourself. Like, when you leave your debit card in the machine and back in the car you realise your loss. It was just becoz of the person next in queue that you had to hurry and so you left it there!!

My take: Crib Crib and Crib... but not always, not to everyone, not about everything.
Take responsibility of your actions. If something wrong has happened, it has happened coz you have let it happen. So dont blame others as if it never dawned on you. You knew it was wrong and you still let it happen. Digest the facts and go about minding your business. You'll be a happier person.
