[Picture along side is one of the most expressive work of art, a painting by Edvard Munch titled 'The Scream'. Need I say more!]
I saw this man holding his cell-phone to his ears tightly. He seemed as if trying to listen to faint sounds. But he was holding it for so long, he may just be listening to silence. What does silence tell us? Silence talks to us about our own self. It only holds mirror to our own weird thoughts and ideas, which sound bizarre sometimes. It makes us look intelligent and thoughtful or perhaps only intelligent and thoughtful can listen to silence. It crystallizes our thoughts, tells us of our standing in space and time and in relation to world at large. Silence tells us so much only if we care to listen.
When these thoughts come to me I get a feel of deja vu, of having heard these thoughts in verse.
