Among the various arts that have taken the backstage, one of them not technically a form of art, but the fact that mastering it needs some nerves makes it an art. Gone are those days, when people used to lend you an ear and listen to what you speak, at least the sensible talk let alone the blabbering. It so happens that the moment you want to put out your mind, you already find the other putting it out despite of the fact that he/ she was supposed to be on the receiver side in the first place.
Everyone
wants to talk, but no one wants to listen, decipher and respond. Though they
seem to listen they can’t decipher it, but they tend to divert the topic and
turn the tables and all of a sudden your conversation is down the drain and you
find yourself drowning in theirs. Well that is altogether a different form of
art.
It
would not be much of a disappointment when you are cut off the moment when you
start to utter something, or rather start a conversation or share something,
but, when your mind is braided with thoughts and you start running with them
and if someone pulls the plug that is when one loses it, I mean seriously loses
it. Well, we all know who belongs to this category, at least the working cadre
of IT sector knows, The Manager. (Pun intended)
People
now a day have seriously lost the impulse to listen, they surrender the moment
you start to share something, though it is related to them, let alone the
things that are remotely concerned to them. One could find only a handful of
them who actually listen and respond, well, that means you mean a lot to them.
Everyone
wants to burst their minds out, shout and scream and always wants the other to
lend their ears, but, they tend to forget that the coin has two sides, well
this, my friend is a two way, you can’t have your own way, and in the process
no one really has the gist of what other said. Happens to me all the time, when
I speak with my Mom.
I don’t
remember the last time when I spoke something sensible with someone, and even
if I did I don’t recall it, that makes it even worse, because that indicates my
ears have been fed with quite a lot of junk already and my thoughts are lying
somewhere down in the heap of crap. Yes offense.
Adding to this, when you take a moment for
yourself, cool down and tend to be sober, you are caught on the wrong foot, and
find yourself being blamed for being rude and careless. Well you have to understand, you are being ignored, who hard is it to pick up that kind of sign? Seriously, grow a brain.
I miss
those days when we friends sat and talked for hours together, with most of the
conversations still being recalled till date, people have evolved now, they
have grown a another mouth and have cut down on their hearing organs and ergo
no conversation lasts for a couple of minutes and anything beyond that is most
of the times- nonsense!
And,
all those who listen, keep up the good work, if it weren’t for you hell would
have broken loose long ago and most of us would have been scrambling here and
there for an ear!
Adios.
