I did my graduation from WB and graduated back in 2024. Convocation has not happened till now, so I thought of going there to get my certificate in June 2nd week since my juniors (only close ones I have there) are also graduating this year and it will be a surprise for them.
Now, my mom started like, "I too wanna come with you, I haven't been anywhere, your dad has seen your college and all, I wanna see once too" so I thought, fine I'll take her too since she hasn't got any such chance being a woman and it will be a bonding moment for us too. And she clearly knew it was supposed to be a surprise to my juniors.
Context 1: While I was in college, I had a really hard time making friends since I was Covid batch. All of the rest were Bengalis or knew bengali. I didn't. They had there won't group by the first sem itself and when offline classes finally started, I got one bengali and nepali girl. Who used me to the max, abandoned me at my weakest and my juniors were the only ones I had then. And my so called ex friends continued hurting me till the end of college.
I wanted to put a raw egg in their shoes as revenge (yea, I'm cruel ik) but couldn't. And that was something I always regretted. Like I couldn't even ask them why they were doing all this to me.
Yesterday, I was on a call with my juniors and got to know they are now close with my ex-friends. They knew what all I had to go through. Me and my juniors are basically sisters now and I couldn't handle this fact. I asked of them if they could put some raw egg in their shoes for me and they said no. I got hurt.
I just wanted them to say yes, just to console me and not do it in real. But they blatantly said no. But something that hurt me was the fact that, they are now close. I was in a bad mood today because of that.
I called another of my juniors, just because and she told me that my mother had called her. My mother saw her (junior's ) parents and called her to tell that and that how she's rn (junior had chicken pox past week) and then dropped casually that I was going to meet them in college. She knew it was supposed to be a secret and yet she told her this.
I asked my mom about it and instead of being sorry she said, "athinippo entha" and proceeds to disconnect the call. I called her again and she fiercely defended her stance and kept justifying what she did. My mom and dad had a fight last day, so this time I said "verthe alla achan ningalod angne perumarane", disconnected the call and blocked her. I don't regret doing this.
This is not the first time my mom has done something like this. Every time I think of making our relationship better, she does something like this.
Now I'm crying coz idk what to do. I have cancelled all my plans. I have blocked everyone (it's stupid reason ik). I just wanted to vent.
Tldr: finally planned going back to my college, collecting my certificate, and surprising the only juniors who truly supported me during one of the loneliest phases of my life. Then I found out those same juniors are now close with the people who hurt and abandoned me in college, which already made me feel betrayed and replaced. On top of that, my mom knowingly ruined the surprise even after confirming I hadn’t told them, and then completely dismissed my feelings when I confronted her.
Edit 1: I cried, ate an ice cream and now I'm back to normal 👍
I might be going through PMS but I can't cope with BJP winning in Bengal. Yes TMC was bad but I have studied in a Central University in Bengal. Ik how they destroyed the culture, the very University that was hailed for the rich culture, the best place in Bengal was ruined because it was ruled by a central govt representative.
As someone who has spent a large majority of their life studying in RSS-BJP affiliated institutions, as someone who comes across the It cell subreddits and their hate stuffed posts, I'm worried about our future. In fact, I can't even see a future.
