Conversations

Memories and conversations go hand in hand because we tend to relate one with the other and, later think about both. One can be picky with memories but not with conversations. What one has spoken remains intact as it cannot be changed and impacts a lot to the other party involved. Funny thing is, this is the only way you get to know a person prima-facie and also, how they make you feel. Don’t you think our conversations have become banal over some time? We are always beating around the bush but not saying what’s on one’s mind. We fear if we speak the truth then things might go wrong, but we are ready to deal with ourselves feeling bad. It is supposed to be wrong, but the majority of people will disagree with this. We tend to say things that we are not looking forward to doing, but end up doing exactly the same. This usually happens when we are not comfortable enough to share our inner thoughts and then we come to those conversations which happen overnight without letting yourself know that it is happening. I believe we all love these conversations.

Let me ask you something, “How often do you communicate what you want to say?”. I don’t think it happens as often as you want it to be. Have you ever asked yourself what is stopping you? If yes, you are in the right direction of solving things out because then you know where you have to look. If no, sadly you are making it a habit consciously or unconsciously in a few cases. Judgement, it is one of those reasons which puts you off and you tend to shy away from letting things out. I, for one, am a believer of grey areas as not everything is pure black or pure white. There are areas where you need to trade carefully to maintain a balance. Some people don’t get it and you don’t have to worry about those because not everybody can get you even people who are close to you. There are things which we need to handle on our own no matter what. Yes, they can be your support system when you fall back, but they can’t stand at your place.

I’m sure we all have such instances where we think we cannot utter a single word, but end up blabbering everything. These are the best kind because you are free from any kind of judgement and can express whatever is coming to your mind. There is no lag or filter. It’s just you, your thoughts and that listener. Remember those late-night conversations you have with your siblings or friends where you both are serious but keep the environment light. These conversations make the best memories because you feel free and alive. And against all the odds, you want to keep moving forward.

Conversations are important because unless you let things out how the other person will get to know your perspective about things. You have to tell what is wrong when things don’t look fine. Also, not just ‘what’ you said, but ‘how’ you said it matters. So, let your talks be as expressive as you can and let people in. It might not seem easy but you got to try.

Book Review - The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak

T here are certain books where you know you will like them even when you have read just 10 pages. There can be reasons behind it though, perhaps you have read the author before, or have found the narrative interesting, maybe the first para hooked you since the beginning or your instinct made you feel so. All these factors sum up what I feel for this story. It was too much to see Rumi long for the alter ego, meanwhile taking part in the worldly things where he used to judge and help people but from a distance. And as Shams entered his life, things changed drastically overnight. Meanwhile, there is a parallel story going about Ella and Aziz Zahara. These two stories intermingle in such a way where you can’t stop comparing one character to another. This book is all about love in different forms, it doesn’t restrict itself to romance but love between father and children, between two friends, between husband and wife, between a teacher and his disciples and between two strangers. There are ...

Book Review - Poison Dream by Kitty Cook

It is the sequel to Sleeping Together. In the previous book, the story was more focused on Vanessa and Altan. Here you get to see more of Pete. Things take a different turn every now and then, and you always pray for your favourite character to win. The best part I found about this book is how every character is flawed, but there is more to them. You will judge them based on what they do but when you are having your weak moments. One can grant you some exceptions, as not everyone can be graceful. Yes, terrible mistakes can be made, but later how you look at it is most important. You don’t have to hate a person just because they did you wrong, at the same time you can’t like them either. You land somewhere between where you accept the fact and move on without being bitter about it. I liked and disliked many things about these characters, and they represent someone you know in real life. So, it isn’t hard to get to them. It’s a book about love and to what extent you can go for the peop...

Review - A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

This is a larger-than-life kind of book. Where you trade between one character to another or one story to another seamlessly. You don't even feel the need to go back to the other end. You enjoy what is presented to you. Well! At times you despise it too. As per my understanding, the story revolves around three main themes - Relationships, Abuse/Trauma, and Depression. You can find some ideas or opinions interchangeably in these. Character names - Jude, Willem, JB, Malcom, Andy, Harold, Julia and Richard Depression If you have ever read anything Depression, then you just know the tip of the iceberg. This book takes you down on a deeper level and shows you what is underneath the iceberg. Now, you might not be ready for it but it has been shoved at your face. You have to have it despite its uneasiness. I took a break from time to time to grasp the story in a much better way. A person can excel in his career but the ghosts of the past won't let you live in peace. Some incidents are...
