Control-Freak Parents

Image
This is again a post about one of my relatives. I have seen them being control-freak from past 5 to 6 years. Lately their controlling has become even more worse as to annoy everyone around them. Though if I say to them in their face they wont agree. But the fact about these control-freak people is that everyone other than them will know that they are controlling things. Dealing with people who are control freaks itself is tough enough. But what if they are parents? I dunno how that kid feels being bullied around, but I really felt bad for him. And so some day if they (parent or kid) read this and understand their mistakes, yeah that serves the purpose of this post.

For the first time I got a chance to sit and eat at the Manchester United Restaurant Bar in Bangalore. It was my dream to be at a place where I could feel the devil getting in my body.

My dream came true; all thanks to Shyam for the treat and Deepak for the ride... :) One thing
