Words and Silence

Popular belief is that only the spoken Words are heard but if you really want to increase the effectiveness of your voice then Silence is the most powerful tool..!!

As Margaret Weis rightfully says “Words can never fully say what we want them to say, for they fumble, stammer, and break the best porcelain. The best one can hope for is to find along the way someone to share the path, content to walk in silence, for the heart communes best when it does not try to speak.”

More often we expect from the ones who matter to us a lot, to say it in Words what they mean to say just because we want to "hear" them for we believe that these words transform to feelings but in reality it is the profound enigmatic Silence in the company of true love and concern that evokes in us the feelings we so much yearn for. Only after one has used words as a medium and experienced it's limited power is one truly ready to experience and appreciate the unlimited power of silence. It takes a lot of maturity and understanding to realize how intimate a connection we share with Silence deep down in the pure layers of our inner consciousness. It keeps unveiling to us in so many mysterious ways depending upon the circumstances. It is amazing how expressive Silence could be..!!

In our day to day lives, we continuously let heaps of words, seep into us through our five senses and pile up on our brain thereby cluttering it. Some off these we evaluate and react to; others we just eschew. We are designed as such that words touch most of us only superficially and hence the colossal damage in the form of misinterpretation and misunderstandings which have a cascading effect on our lives. It takes only the intellectual DNA's to interpret words for their true meaning and essence.

Au contraire to popular definitions, Silence is not absence of noise it has a realm of it own with a light that can only been seen with the inner eyes. It is present in everyone - its just that most never bother look within. Once connected with this, it helps us handle the most difficult decisions of our lives with a clarity of circumstances and pros n' cons like never before. If you have a gift of the gab, learn to speak only when you have to else adopt silence. Pause when necessary and when you have nothing to say at all, SAY NOTHING. Such approaches will have outlasting impact. Learn to use Silence - It is a powerful tool in many contexts.

Silence is not a sign of weakness or loneliness
it's a powerful weapon of souls with fortitude
it has its own energy, substance n' style
which it bestows on us, by condescending us
by showing us its pristine inner light..!!

A Legend Lost. A Legacy Forever.

 On October 9, 2024, India lost one of its most cherished industrialists and humanitarians, Ratan Tata. His last words on social media, " Thank you for thinking of me. " were quintessentially Tata—humble, understated, and full of grace. These parting words have reverberated across the nation, encapsulating the quiet dignity with which he lived and led. In an age where public figures often tower through grand gestures, Ratan Tata’s approach was markedly different. His power was wielded not through public spectacle, but through quiet action, compassionate leadership, and a relentless commitment to integrity. From his role in expanding the Tata Group into a global conglomerate to his advocacy for animal welfare and support for start-ups, Tata's legacy is one of kindness interwoven with visionary business strategy. What set Ratan Tata apart was not just the scope of his achievements, but the human touch he brought to them. Even as he orchestrated some of India’s most signifi...

The Dilemma of Elections: Choosing the "Best" Among the Worst

 Election season rolls around, and once again, we’re faced with the so-called “democratic choice” of selecting the next leaders of our country. But for many citizens, especially from the middle class, elections don’t feel like a meaningful choice at all. With so many political parties vying for power, there should ideally be a sense of hope or at least expectation. Yet, every time, the feeling that prevails is one of apathy. It’s a cycle of voting for the “best among the worst,” knowing deep down that, no matter who wins, the voices of the middle class will be buried under layers of hollow promises and neglected priorities. For years, political parties have operated on hidden, often divisive, agendas. Whether it’s wooing particular sectors, appealing to minorities, or focusing solely on Below Poverty Line (BPL) schemes, every party seems to tailor its rhetoric to a targeted voter base. And while each party competes to outdo the other in announcing schemes aimed at uplifting the BPL...

Embracing the Flow of Life

In our fast-paced world, we often try to control the outcomes of every situation. We want things to happen a certain way, on our terms, and according to our timelines. However, there’s a simple yet powerful philosophy that can help us navigate the unpredictability of life with more ease: "If it comes, let it come. If it stays, let it stay. If it goes, let it go." This mantra encourages us to let go of resistance and embrace the natural flow of events. By adopting this mindset, we learn to welcome opportunities without fear, accept stability without clinging to it, and release what no longer serves us without regret. It’s about living in harmony with the inevitable changes life brings, instead of fighting against them. 1. If it comes, let it come. Life often surprises us with new possibilities—whether in the form of relationships, opportunities, or challenges. By letting things come naturally, without forcing or fearing them, we open ourselves up to new experiences and growth....
