( I was just driving my car the other day. Since I was alone lot many thoughts went through my mind. One such thing is what I have written below. )
The world seems so confused,
with what is expected and what are expectations.
Ego and attitude is what hinders the difference,
A doubt in the heart puts the mind in drought.
I am no preacher or a highly skilled master,
To command to the people.
For what I see from my eyes is what I write,
Lest bothered if the other one feels this isn't right.
We are bound in a relation,
Else otherwise we all are individuals.
Be it a parent or a friend,
You are yourself until you know there is other, to give it a name.
I ask you humans is it expectations that we keep against our people,
Or is it expected of a dear one to think of the other.
I hear from many, Do not keep expectations,
But is it expectations from a mother/father/sister/brother.
A friend or a colleague might have expectations from his peers,
Thou be the case then thy thought isn't right.
A family is bound to give or seek,
For, if it wasn't there is no need for one such thing.
If it wasn't for these there would be no word coined,
And expectations and expected would only be a dream.
My fellow souls is this what you think life is,
For I don't see else otherwise why a family was made.
To nurture my thought, I make this attempt,
To think of a family as the one which gives it all without any expectations,
For when everyone leaves you aside, these will remain as ever and forever.

Intriguing one harry !
Well, the expectation suits more in the professional environment than in the personal relationship.
At profession, it is important to set the expectations right so as to achieve it.
When it comes to personal r/nship, it is not BAD to have expectations, but is no GOOD either. 'coz at the end of it, if it is not met, you're the loser, not the other person. If you still have any it is better that the other person is made aware of it.
Mother is the best e.g I can possibly give for selflessness. She will give u everything and anything forever without expecting anything from you.
keep nurturing ur thots and "don't go with your expectations".
my 2 cents

@Guru - Thanks Captain for your thoughts.
I just have one scenario here - You buy a new pair of trousers. You wear and go show it to your mother.Now your mom says- "Nice!!"
That's all and nothing else. Now would you still go around happily showing it to the others or you would think why your mom didn't say anything else.There would obv be a thot lingering your mind.
Y should she say, cos her comments are so much so for you that even if 100 people say naah!! ok ok, just one statement from mom that "its realy good. nice choice" n a cheerful smile from her or etc. I am sure you would forget the 100 naaah's.
You would obv feel better in the latter part. Now was that your expectation that your Mom will do or is that, since its your Mom, she would be knowing what is expected.
Over expectations are seriously injurious and not to be practised, But expected should not be put under expectations.
It is easy to be an individual but when someone joins you and collectively you make/feel like a family, things are expected and things don't become expectations.
P.S: This is just my thought.
harryyyy.....is it reallyy youuuuu??!!
wow!!!
but what I have learnt from my experiences is,expect less, then you really can enjoy more with what you get.
@Shweta - Hi da!!
Agree with you.. But my point is where does the word expectancy come into picture... Its a open end discussion of course with many arguments.. :)
