I heart Conversations...

You know the thing about words is, they are very very tangible. Sometimes they hit you hard, where it hurts the most. They bring even the giants among men to their knees and create a small but incriminating spasm of self doubt within. But sometimes, which we fondly remember, we all have pleasantly preserved little words strung together by another person, said to us by means of either purpose or jest, passion or emotion which leaves us with an indelible mark on our psyche. Words that fill us with a warm glow from the inside , and some even leave behind a smile long after those words were said. So words are very very tangible indeed.

But words by themselves mean much less, it is their collective strength that make meaningful conversations. Your ability to converse is the most important social asset that you might posses. Unfortunately if you are a (pardon the language but nothing fits better) dumb-fuck, then it is self- damaging! In a day we make a bunch of conversations. Most of them are mundane and routine even. While some might involve some wit, a little bit of repartee, some flirtation even. Or on some popular lists, Sex or Shit. (I believe shit is easy to guess because its universal, i guess sex is too!). But what i enjoy the most are the memorable and striking ones, that make you laugh genuinely and that is usually replayed again and again once we are away from the scenario to search for subtle hints from where we make up scenarios and live happily ever after :D. The beauty of it is that these conversations generally make you feel good about yourselves. Its not flattery but a generous appreciation. I can recall the most favourites of my conversations, (and some silences as well ;) ) and from all those moments, i can recall an adorable vulnerability that sweeps over us. We become more open as if we want to fuel the conversation with carefully crafted words. We are equally willing to give as receive. That my dear friend is a rarity.

So tonight I want to urge all of you to recall or better still, have a conversation, that will make you smile, that you will remember for a long long time, or say something kind, generous or ultimately uplifting. That is a gift we all have the ability to give. Because we never know who might be in need of it. If you sense someone nursing a heart-break, tell them they are still precious. If someone is defeated, pick them up and say "you could be defeated alone, together we shall conquer". If you see someone unsure, hold their hands and say "individually you are alone, together we are a crowd". If you see someone at their worst, unkempt and deflated and you feel for them , look them in the eye and tell them "you are beautiful" with a twinkle. If you see a friend getting into trouble, tell them "chances are you will get screwed, we will laugh it off over some beer and peanuts. and If you see someone who has given up on love, tell them "I love you, now let's try and make you love you :) "

cheers :)
