It's been a week long absence from any activity but a break of sorts is good. It is rejuvineting to come back to the scene with a new feeling , with a new thought, with a fresh mind. The aroma of the tea had already filled the room and I wished for the perfect breakfast and there it was right on the table . I sat besides my parents ......simple things in life and so much to be thankful about.
Just then the bell rang, and we had an unexpected visitor. He too joined us for breakfast, now the conversation moved from personal daily nitty grittys to politics to the bombay life. There were quite a few laughs that we shared during the course of our conversation, some yesteryear memories and etc....... It went on for sometime....good laughs and good memories always have a way with us feeling good all the time.
There is something beautiful and yet intriguing about conversations, some conversations are so subtle, unless you are alert you can just miss the point....some conversations make us think..make us think things over. Some are just plain and simple and yet beautiful and some are just so unnecessary, that we would rather not have a conversation but yet we do . It can be out of fear, out of avoiding but we just get into the act of conversation.
It's the way we put things across , the way we say things....if we observe the words spoken...by us or others, we get a hang of how the conversation is going. It is interesting to note that usually a conversation depends on the intrinsic relationship or the bond that we share with the other people or the group that we are having the conversation with. The beautiful-ness in the conversation comes more deeply when we listen. When we are there to hear the other person out. The sharing of ourselves, our view is integral part of a conversation. The willingness to be there, to understand and carry the conversation forward is a skill, but many a times people have to really stop themselves from interrupting.. the urge is too great to resist. For some it is easier, for some listening is just tough to come.
Some conversations light up the entire room and it's like being a part of a celebration. A feel good moment, to take back with us. And some conversation, just get us into realization ! Oh...this is what it is all about. And we wonder at that moment....how could this slip my mind....it's then the reality dawns. There are people who are waiting to utter something sarcastic or stating the obvious. If its delicately put across, then it helps the conversation to move ahead, if not..then it can only spoil a wonderful morning or a beautiful evening. Notice the expression that happens while in conversation, it's quite interesting. These expression give us the signs of how we are progressing in our conversation, very few are alert to these signs.
Conversations are a way to grow, a way to heal. Cause its during the course of conversation, we learn so many things about ourselves and others at the same time. It's just not a mere discussion or a debate or a phone call or chat, its more than that. It makes us understand the issue, the field of discussion, the life nitty- gritty's , what people share and what we say to them in those moments..is what defines our conversation. After all a conversation, be it beautiful, good, interesting, or something else remains etched in our minds. So see to it that we do make our conversations interesting enough, so there's an audience to listen to what we have to share and vice versa!
