Sometimes.... somethings

One of the reasons, I would choose to go back to childhood is because it was soo much easier to say what you felt then, As a kid it was simple, I would cry when I was hurt, I would scream to be heard, I would even go blue and I am not sure weather the purpose was served, but it didn’t really matter then, all it needed was for me to say it.

As individuals, we are blessed with this ability to communicate and I am not sure at what age that blessing simply disappears.

Yes, communication is the first thing we learn in life. Foolishly ecstatic on that ability, naïve to the fact, that one once we grow up, learn our words and really start talking the harder it will become to know what to say, to say what you want, and to want to say what you really feel.

Ofcourse, on such days you would scribble in your diary or blog random things on which no one really gives a damn. (giggles). But the point is, you don’t see it coming, I wish there was a rule book for these kind of things, you know they would tell you

When your wrong: Shut up and listen!
When it hurts : Cry (and its okai to do so)
When your happy: Smile!
When you know it: Say it!

Ofcourse, this is my version of a pseudo rule book, of which I don’t live by at all.

Because, then one day, just I discovered some other secrets of life; I realized that this inability is a blessing of its own.

Some times, you needn’t say what you feel, sometimes, its good to contemplate; sometimes you’re glad you never opened your mouth.

But sometimes, there are some things you just can't help but talk about.

Sometimes, there are things, we just don't want to hear, sometimes, we cant wait to hear somethings and sometimes, we say some things because we can't be silent any longer.

Some things are more than what you say, they're what you do. Some things you say because there's no other choice. Some things you keep to yourself. Some things someone else would say it for you.

But most importantly, sometimes, not too often, but every now and then, some things simply speak for themselves.

Our supposed control over our own speech is the latent supression of our own opinions....

A tougue shooter wins more enemies than friends....for being overly truthful...

Where is the middle path?? I think it is in behaving as innocently as a small child....saying what he wants...doin what he does...with just one difference...and that is in acknowledging that there is a small child hiding in all of us :)

Yes beeny, time waits for no one!

and rohan, why is it that the child is always in hiding, and comes out only after 4 shots of vodka, singing nursery rhymes! :))

Becoz we have supressed it in our effort to be matured and sophisticated.....
