I'll start on a very pessimistic note
kisi se koi bhi ummeed rakhna chchod kar dekho
yeh rishtey nibhana kis kadar aasaan ho jaye..
What is it between expectations and a relation that doesn't work? Every thing that you have worked on for years, carefully placing brick by brick, piece by piece and it just falls apart. Why are we so weak ? We feel the pain, yet we are not willing to walk one step forward. I'm not talking for people who fail to deliver, I'm talking for people who do not receive what they expect.
The ones who get to complain :)
Expectations are silent killers, slow poisons, sometimes sudden deaths. One doesn't notice when they become unreasonable. Its like a double edged sword.. people who expect feel they are justified while the other person thinks they are a bunch of unreasonable, stupid, childish demands.
Why are we so weak and self centered, not to understand that the other person could not meet our expectations because that person has his/her own limitations. The other person might be weaker, or maybe the other person is trying to convince you to be strong on your own. Lol.. but this logic defies my reasoning.. I know every time I failed to deliver was because my heart was not hundred percent into it. I failed because I didn't feel as much for the person/cause. It was a mere formality.
Expectations are like roses.. you don't have to see them to know they are there ..bright, beautiful yet very delicate.. pick the wrong one, touch it with just a little bit of extra pressure and u kill the relationship a day earlier. Yet expectations are the beauty, strength and life in a relationship.
I'm not happy with what I have written but I'll let this post stay there.
Here's to filling our glass of life with expectations that we have to meet .. and ignoring whatever we expect from people we love.

There was a time when I used to be disappointed when others would not live upto my expectations but lately I realised life's too short to worry about how other people aren't giving you what you expect of them. There are far more expectations that I have of myself- I should be thinking about whether or not I will be able to live up to those.
And I see now that the sense of betrayal if I forsake those will be far greater than somebody else doing the same. So I learned to shine my own sun right above me :)
