Silence

Have you ever experienced a moment in your life when you just ran out of words and you go... s i l e n t???

Let me assist you in recalling....

.... The moment when you left your home for the first time and you look back at your parents who are worried that their son/daughter are leaving them yet happy that their child took the first step towards independence....

... The moment when you get better marks than you expected... those "numb" moments of ecstasy n surprise "is that true?"

... The moment when you are parting with your old friend(s) and the train has just started... and you are standing on the door of the wagon.. waving "bye-bye" with your heart beating fast...
... The moment when the girl/boy you like most.. smiled back at you! You don't say anything.. you just smile back..

... The moment after the HR manager has just called you and told you,” You are through! Congrats!"..

... The moment when you sit alone in your room after having told everyone that you cleared that exam you prepared for 6 months!!

You can go on remembering your "special" moments!

I had always wondered why I never said anything to myself at those moments..
as if it was "understood" ... happiness, joy, pain.. All feelings just flowed ceaselessly in the 'years' that passed in those flash moments!

They say.. the best way to communicate is through "silence". Love. Joy. Grief. Surprise. Anger. Hope. Expectations. Support. Non-cooperation. ..
Can you imagine the importance of a silent moment in a song??
When Bryan Adams stops for a while along with music, before he goes on in his husky voice...
... Please forgive me. I can't stop loving you!

Ever had those moments when you thought you were tired enough that you reach for your bed after dinner.. but find yourself wide awake looking at the roof of your room silently...
But you sure are 'thinking'.. . those moments of self-talk are the most important in our lives. Those moments when we listen to our own hearts! Those promises... those decisions... those are the moments. when we make our destinies!..

Next time you go silent... listen carefully to what your heart is saying.. listen to its joy...listen to its pain.. listen to its fears.. listen to its desires..

Don't make it shut up and go off to sleep...

LISTEN TO THAT VOICE and ACCEPT EVERYTHING IT SAYS!

That voice alone can lead you to the abode of peace that your sleep lacks... peace that awaits you!
Be in touch with your true self... be silent once a day, every day!

Good Sonu,realy nice article......

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit with on a porch and swing with, and never say a word, and then walk away feeling it was the best conversation you've ever had................

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Well.... thats just one aspect of silence...

What about when you have put in efforts, got 99.04 on 100 and still miss the IIMs...you are silent...

What if the guy/girl you like the most is walking away from you an you know things will never be same again... you remain silent...

What when you come back home but you know you've left something behind?? you remain silent...

well...

Next time you r silent and your heart starts talking...Shut it up...

Talking hearts are injurious to health... :)

I have faced a very different kind of silence... the silence when u feel ur ownself has stopped talking to you. the time when you go totally blank, ur mind absolutely out of thoughts. believe me, this silence is worst than any other.
