Power Of Silence


Wondering what powers may the silence possess… ??

Let me show you an example first…

This is Silence…










And This is the result....








Can you see the power of silence now …?

:) ofcourse you can..

it is a pleasure talking about silence which sometimes, is, so precious that you spend thousand of your hard earned money to go out to find it. Isn’t it?

Silence, here that I am speaking of, is not exactly the silence that you would find in solitude, it is not the one that you may find in a jungle, near a river or in a church, temple or any of such monuments for that matter and neither can you find it when you are with your girl friend, girl_friends ( a term which I coined for the girls who are friends but not quite girl friend ) or your better half. They are always talking talking talking and talking and then a little more and then a little more and then when you are just too tired to take it , a lot more.

Now I would start it from the point when I realized this power. This amazing thing helped me come out of my persisting sad mood and helped me revive after a tiring week.
Friend’s it was this Saturday when I went out for movie with one of my girl_friends. She is just too talkative type even when there is nothing to talk about.
Men are normally considered to be not that talkative and I seriously can not understand what might be the fascination the better part of society have with meaningless one sided conversations.

However, coming back to the movie , when I realized this powerful silence which with every minute of the movie was filling me with energy and a new hope for life , my friend kept silent , probably not because the movie was so fantastic but because it was just too dumb.
No matter what may be the reason for her to keep silent for all the time , it was a wonderful experience , when I got out of theater I could not help but thank her for all the support she had extended for my revival.

Now coming to other aspects of silence.

There are moments in life when emotions just flow out, tears may role out on cheeks, your hands may just try to reach out to someone, your eyes may just want to stare at someone just for a few more seconds –yes you are there now, Julia Roberts is about to say that romantic most line “ I am just a girl , asking a boy , to love me” – Sob sob – at this point we just prefer to be silent if not sleeping after switching off the television. But my god , God has made women who would cry for everything on TV. And then they have emotional dialogs ready for all the situations. Just like QuickMade cold coffee.. add water and sugar and its ready .. 


At those times , gentlemen, you may just pray to god to save you from the torture.

Now the useful part...
Silence is not only helpful when you want your friend to shut up for a while. It is quite handy for the married men too.

When was the last time when you were being shouted at by your better halves???
Don’t make that face that you don’t remember …
Everybody knows the truth…

So even though I do not have any experience with W I F E from my experiences with my ex – girl friend ( not the under score one , ( shyly) , and why ex – you would get to know ) I must say that when your woman makes an angry or doubtful or thinking face , its time to shut up. While keeping your mouth shut whether you want to listen to what she is saying is up to you.
And now why my girl friend became ex – because I just could not shut up at the right time.

Now as we have discussed both the aspects when silence is desirable from women and women and women and women I would like to say one thing:

Sometimes Silence speaks more than words and then silence is more musical than any song.
