Indian Relatives.

I don't know what is it with the relatives. I don't know how to put my feelings in words. There's hurt, anger and what not.
Relatives are no where seen when we're going through tough phases, hardships in our life. When we are working hard day and night, they can't be seen anywhere. But once we attain something worthy, they behave as if we have been in touch since ages. Why? Why can't people be genuinely happy for us? Why so much of comparison and inquiry all of a sudden when we achieve something? If you never wished me on my birthday, we don't talk to each other on phone often or even once in 4 years then who on earth are you to ask me what and how am I doing a particular thing all of a sudden?

I don't have problem with people asking me about my life. But if a person has been uninterested to know how I am all my life, never had any kind of contact with me then why now?

I don't want to be treated like a topic for their useless gossip!

Whenever I got 95% marks in boards, all the relatives.who have been dead for me, suddenly appears applauding and praising me.
I took an year off. All the distant, far distant relatives came asking what will I do in future? What are my plannings?

Like hello? Have we ever talked in the last ten years? Were you there when I wasn't in my best of health? No. And now all of a sudden you think you own the right to know about me and my future plans? Why? For what?

Why people can't be happy with their own lives? Why do they constantly have to poke their noses and neck and whatever in other's life?

WHY?

This is so irritating! And stupid at the same time.

I am selectively social person. I have a little bubble which comprises of people I love. And I like to keep it that way.
I try but I just can't let myself be a time pass for people who doesn't really cherish and care about me.
