One of those times in the year when I love putting some random thoughts together. In fact the seeping sandgrains just differed that I have come a tad bit late! But if the pen could listen to time then there would be a story made or should say readymade every moment, every second, published, suckered and get a booker in a snap of a finger!
Lately whenever I try to put some personal and observational thoughts together I pause for a second, blame it on my casual and careless attitude and that little voice which keeps telling me "will it make a difference"? I mean in this world where just two days back we celebrated World Environment Day, noise pollution is at its worst! Everybody's speaking , in voices, tones, colors, religions and guess what Nobody's Hearing! Nobody at all, coz everybody has an opinion of their own. Even my six year old has his own mind and trust me, he never has a single hitch for speaking it out. "I need a better house and a better car like dad has", and I am not even referring to a moment of pang of a single mother. Coz here the issue is not about me, him or anybody in particular, its not a sordid tale about anybody's struggle and it is not to churn out the worst form of emotional blackmail.
At this particular point where my PC screen, my newspaper, my TV screen all look like a dumpster, in short being dumped with some sort of new happening/info/vision/communication practically in a nanosecond! I honestly grapple with this info. What to listen/ what to react/ what to read/ what to ignore/ what to allow/ what to block!! I mean does my commenting or non commenting really making a difference like really. And if I choose to express my opinion, am I being heard? Welcome! No it does not and no my saying anything would not make any difference! For the simple reason "who cares?". I mean its a world of hurry and having no time. Its a time where we talk about space but suffocate our ownselves in our own spaces which we have created after a lot of hard work (read one-way)! Its about worrying so so so so much about country's corruption, commenting, promoting on social sites and coming back home in the grumpiest of moods, looking at the family, yelling at kids, throwing some weight on somebody who appears like a co-habitant! Its about never knowing what it was like to be living and never knowing what its like to be breathing or cooking or for that matter not cooking and yet promoting a Yoga Guru or Anshan's long life! Its about being too too great at passing crude and cruel remarks about any tom dick and harry on earth who did not fit the long list of convenience but never bothering to find out, what if it was returned?? !!
So what is this crap I am talking about!
Its about being heard! Its about making a space which would be tolerable enough to live! Its about talking and allowing to talk! Its about hearing and letting it reach where it should , rather than just flushing it out. Its about sieving whats needed from the unnecessary or should say redundant! Its about progressing for once and having not being blinded or colored by opinions and judgments! Its about having a ground to hold on while we look at the sky.Its about allowing that inner voice to at least once live for good, like let it allow to breathe and grow!
Hell, guess that sounds like a sermon too. And in this world where its all about slangs, shorter meanings, shallow speeches, let me make it simpler. Coz Live and let Live is Passe, at least give that so much talked space to your own self, and Live for once!
The sandgrains are receding and Damn it! You owe that much for sure to yourself if not any!!
