Talk Much!


How does it feel to you when you are told to shut up?

No, I'm not questioning the fact whether you are stated right or wrong before that. Just how do your sentiments flow listening to this one sentence; Shut up! That, is a sentence according to me.

I feel obnoxious when I am not being listened to. I mean, how difficult is it to pay attention to someone sitting next to you and not react properly? All you need to do is to look up, and listen! Oh and by reactions I never mean to see those faces; it seems like, "Did I just ask for a diamond ring?" Having a conversation has become so tough, only a simple plain conversation. I guess, every girl reading this post, would be full of empathy, but what I'm more sure about is the coming of, 'Ah, another usual complaint'.

That's not a complaint, what we get to hear is. With 'Chup kar yaar' and 'how can you talk all the time' being common, we are bestowed sometimes with explanations(thank god!), from, "your timing is always too bad" to "This is not right. You aren't even making any sense." Really, can you even repeat what I said? Wait, give me just four lines of it and I'll be convinced!

I know I talk all the time. In fact, I'm talking right now. But, I am a girl. It is essential, yes 'fundamental' for me to talk. It is like oxygen! We may be overwhelmed all the time and react a lot. Perhaps you don't need us talking all the time but it's not about getting attention if you think what this is. For us girls, talking is a way to show attachment. The more I talk to you, the more closer we are. I maybe commenting on every single thing around but that is because I have a convention in my mind that you understand, and you should know what I feel about things, be it everything. Now, who finds that Strange?

It actually feels horrible. You know that your words are reaching other person's ears but they aren't choosing to listen to you. As a kid, I always pondered how it felt to not be able to hear. Now, I realize to be heard is more important. I believe it is important for us to respect people around us and be courteous enough to listen to the person speaking. Always! That's the least of course. But initially, that would be enough.


P.S This is about talking sense. I understand there are different degrees of lameness for everyone, but that is not what I am talking about. This post is not to offend any person. It is a personal thought and not intended to relate to someone.
