Let it out!!

This time I am going to talk about the unspoken. Words, that emanates from deep within us but die out before they pass through our vocal chords. There can be many reasons, viz. emotional, societal strictures, and political concerns. It is true. How many times have u sworn under your breath and still shown a beaming and concerning smile to everyone else? So let’s not get into denial and read ahead.
Well sarcasm is one sure provocative reason which gets our creative imaginations running. Sarcasm generally results from societal and political strictures, though seldom it might have emotional roots too. But when sarcasm is used for its own in a funny way, it surely exemplifies one's wit. Its all about talking and knowing how to talk.
The other day I was with a few friends, one of whom is a little frisky. On being pointed, in a joke, he said may be he was a cop in his earlier avatar. Well, I thank god, he was not a dog earlier.
Then another friend informed all of us that he was getting married. That's good. Now you would say what funny about this? Well he then said his room partner had got married last month. Oh boy!! Was he taking revenge? Well, he should understand in our society Elton John and his partner are still not regarded as a couple.
Sometimes societal strictures bind us from taking everything in a funny stride. I got a SMS from a friend which read like this:
By the Grace of God we have been blessed with a baby boy
But mate if it was all gods’s doing then what about you??
I just couldn't tell him this and messaged back a congratulatory text.
Emotionally speaking, it happens all so often, that we are unable to say how much someone means to us. We go around in circles by going out in a group even though the only person visible, is her. Why can't one just go out and tell her, "You rock my world!!"
Have you ever seen how women meet at parties and societal do's? Well, they would first ignore, and then pass fleeting glances judging each others clothes, jewellery etc. And when they come face to face, they would burst out praying ignorance, and appreciating each others clothes, jobs etc. But as they move away, they would elbow their respective partners and say, "What a b****!!"
This is what I am talking about. We need someone or some medium to say it.
But saying all this, I still do maintain that talking is important. If we don't talk, people will pass off problems as assumptions and try and solve their own problems rather than the real ones. These are tricky situations as the Boss ain't like anyone else's voice. So stay quiet, if you must, but look for a forum to voice your mood. Talk, don't let it stay inside. If you can't write and force others to read it, as I do, talk to your partner or friends. Let the free spirit soar and you would start understanding whatever I have rambled above. All the Best!!
