I became 'NO' man to my father

Lately I started sensing that my father is kind of avoiding me in any family decision making process. There was a time, I was solely given authority to decide and recommend or comment on his decisions. As days moved after my marriage this is kind of getting withered. When I honestly took this matter with him, he said I was always embarrassing him by saying 'NO' everything he decides on.

To give you a little background, last three years were very important in my life. First year started with a sad incident, my grandma passed away due to illness. Following year, my sister got married and very next year I got married. Now you would know how much a father and son worked together on various family events during this course of time. Though our expectation out of each event is same but our approach remains different. Our ways of handling things remain different.

As a grown up man, I was always bucked up with rational behavior in every action. Whether it is choosing a chef for the marriage ceremony or booking cab for our family trips. Due to this sometimes I said 'NO' for many things which are not covering our interest, time and cost in any means.

As per my father, his intention is getting things done is important than how it is done? Who does it? Whether it worth it? Mine goes long way from probing each and every thing in details before I give a final say.

Honestly I was never intimidated him in any decision. I always took time in explaining why I am deciding this way but most of the time those reasons never convinced him that time. It just bluntly made him to feel that I am ignoring him and his way of doing things. When we successfully completed all the events without any hiccup, without any fund shortage, without any resource constraint, and tried our best to take care of our guest at the best possible way we could. We are all happy of the result and proud of our achievement.

As we moved back to normal, it's kind of hitting me hard that my father is trying keep myself away as he fears that I would say 'NO' to his every decision. I am really concerned now. I am also trying hard to make him understand that I did all this to ensure we achieve what we deserve rather than just letting it happen in its own way.

I hope days will get us back to good old days.

My Interest in games

When I was in early days of school I never had any intention of doing anything, life had its own course and I often enjoyed the journey the way it went on.

During eighth standard I got attracted to both football and cricket game. I wanted to play, play and play for whole day but often I was interrupted by family, friends and many others. Football is the only big game available during our play time in school days. Out of Three hundred students nearly 70% will play football, 25% will go for rest of games like basket ball, tennis, volley ball and other athletic games. There will be three balls for two hundred plus students. Everyone will chase the ball whichever is nearby. If someone slipped by the ball, we can be rest assured that everyone will fall on him and make his white banian become dusty khaki color

There will be lot of competition between us to hit the ball as high as possible and also to shoot to other side of wall where our school CBSE division playground is present.

Though my interest was in football at school but back at home I play cricket and shuttle badminton. I usually play Cricket in evenings, Sunday afternoon and holidays & played Badminton till late evening along with Quarters mates.

During this time I got attracted to basket ball game and went for summer coaching camp to learn but never continued it seriously.

As I moved on to next standard the games in me slowly faded away due to various reasons. While I was in tenth I was asked to stay away from games and stay put on activities other than studies. Occasionally I used to go to library to read newspaper and magazines.

Till tenth standard all I wanted to do is just keep playing.
