The Sound Of SILENCE...

Ever heard ur own heartbeat?
Ever heard how fast/slow u breathe?
hmm.. did u know silence speaks...
Even i dint..not until few months back!
Well..my motive behind this post is NOT to show what silence looks like.... NOT to say to takeup a vow of mounavratam for a day or two
BUT
in any given normal day... assuming every1 has smthng useful to do [:P]
just take a few minutes off, to sense whats 'actually' happening around you..
just move away from d Pc/laptop [if u have one...]
just 'listen' to things around you... initially one may hear 'crap'...seriously!
but just filter the things u dnt require...and 'listen' to urself..
one may hear to things which one has'nt heard before..
U hear ur very own PC sounds inside the system...
U hear to paper fluttering sound when the fan/AC is on..
U hear the clock tick..
U hear [mayb] a plane up in the sky..
Prayyyy.. u dnt end up hearing some1 fart..:P:P ...lol...sorry to disrupt the flow..
Where was I..U hear the wind slighlty blow..
Even while listening to music,,in any particular song try focussing on anyone instrument tht plays in tht song...so balanced and synchronised!
Trust me the best thing to hear would be ur heart beat so rhythmically...Dnt u want to immidiately appreciate...the whole point of creation & Existence..
When it comes to appreciation...i wanna include the tamil movie i saw recently..named "MOZHI"
just one word "brilliant story"...and ofcos...amazing performances by PruthviRaj,Prakash Raj, Jo[Jyothika] & Swarnamaalya!
The hero[karthik],his frd[Vijji] are two musicians,wrking in the film industry,one day happen to shift to a new home...and d hero happens to c Jo[archana] and instantly likes her[ now pls...no Questions on this concept of instant love... even i get peeved off :D]
He tries talking to her many a times,but never gets a reply...reply tho dhoor ki baath hain...she does not even say a 'hi' or 'hello'.... In the process of getting to know her...he comes to know that archana is both hearing & speaking impaired.
Thr story mainly deals with how the hero[a musician] tries his best to win Archana[a girl who doesnt even know the meaning of sound/noise/music]... by learning sign language frm Archana's frd[played by swarnamalya] and also with the help of Prakash Raj.
There r some amazing scenes in the movie where the hero tries to explain what 'music is like' to archana.. where in he succeeds in making her feel the music...but not in making her feel his love...
He goes to the extent of walking on the road with his ears stuffed with cotton...just to experience how the world will look with the mute button "on"!!...he wanted to see how 'archana's world looks like'....awww man...so much for love...!! :O
Wonder what is it like!?
anyways... all i have to say is... "people watch it!!".. even for non tamil fellas "better watch" ...otherwise u really miss smthng!
Realising the fact that...there lies beauty in everything...even in silence... is an amazing feeling...DO NOT miss out on tht!
Over & out here!

I Assume the dots signify my silence.

I Assume I am silent either when I am really impressed or when I am really peeved off.

I Assume I already wrote it all in the first line.

I Assume, finally, that you found my intention in this comment.

This is a first tep to a certain meditation technique (advocated by osho rajneesh) where u meditate but all you do is remain silent. Silence will let you hear your own thoguhts. The key is to play the role of a third person. The first two persons are you and your thgouths. You are supposed to hover above that and just notice whats going on without interfering. Apparently it improves the rationale of the human mind.
