Sometimes I really wonder, why do I have to say Hello to someone when I can simply look right into the person's eyes and exchange a pleasant smile. wouldn't it be just a perfect way to greet!!
Why do we need to ostensibly TELL what we want to express..
Being a Creative writer myself, I really am not a believer in communication through Words...
same way I really don't like wishing birthdays or anniversaries.. not even wishing luck.. success.. congratulation.. oh I am sorry to know so..... I can express my feelings through my face, actions and gestures.. ya ya but non verbal cues have so many assumptive meanings.. get what you want to get.. Right!!
Inspired by this thought,once I wrote a Triveni(a poetry form invented by गुल्ज़
"फकत बेजार सा रिश्ता मेरा है फर्जी लफ्जों सेमेरे मौला ये खामोशी भी अन्धाज़-ऐ-बयान क्यूँ हो,न हो जब कहने को कुछ भी तोह फिर कोई जुबां क्यूँ हो"
it means, Words are something which I find fake and thus am just detachedly attached to them.. how I wish,even silence shouldn't have been a way of expression, where people assume meanings of silence..
what if I have nothing to say.. to comment.. I don't have any opinion.. then why shall there be any language for that matter.. may it all become just implied...
said and done... :)
as Maktub says.. its all already written..
and as Aristotle said..
"Everything that there is to say in this world, has already been said times without number ..."

so doesn't it make things very repeating or boring ... just some variations here and there don't change meaning.. ya ya in point of view spectator.I have though about it many a times, yet am still stuck on my initial preference.. non expressive expressions.. Yes its weird.. my own mother says.."bachche! bina maane toh maa bhi khaanaa nahi deti.. bina bole kya haasil karoge"
(kid! without asking even own mother doesn't feed you.. what would u get without mutely?)
well call it my behavior.. or personality trait or stupid me..I firmly believe that the best way of communication is just through eyes or expressions or gestures...
I may not find right words to say how i feel.. but yes our body knows it all.. it just expresses itself.. just the way an infant tells that it wants milk.. its missing its mother.. same way we all grown up people can communicate.. and trust me it would be the easiest way to understand each person.
I am often confronted of attempting to find N number of meaning of one word or one action, Yes I do it, yes I like exploring multifaceted world of expressions.. and no regrets for it.. will continue doing it for all I want to do is find if not this.. then what would it have been like...in the words of Mirza Ghalib:
न था कुछ तो खुदा था, कुछ न होता तो खुदा होता
डुबोया मुझको होने ने, न होता मैं तो क्या होता ?
हुआ जब ग़म से यूँ बेहिस तो ग़म क्या सर के काटने का
न होता गर जुदा तन से तो जानूं पर धरा होता
[ behis = shocked/stunned, zaanooN = knee ]
हुई मुद्दत के ‘गालिब" मर गया पर याद आता है
वो हर एक बात पे कहना, के यूँ होता तो क्या होता ?
[ muddat = duration/period ]
डुबोया मुझको होने ने, न होता मैं तो क्या होता ?
हुआ जब ग़म से यूँ बेहिस तो ग़म क्या सर के काटने का
न होता गर जुदा तन से तो जानूं पर धरा होता
[ behis = shocked/stunned, zaanooN = knee ]
हुई मुद्दत के ‘गालिब" मर गया पर याद आता है
वो हर एक बात पे कहना, के यूँ होता तो क्या होता ?
[ muddat = duration/period ]
(remember Maktub.. and Aristotle :P)
