SILENCE IS GOLDEN.........................WHEN?

Dear Friends,

Good Evening!

It rained yesterday night.as the window was kept opened,I could feel the unexpected raindrops and enjoy the maddening smell of the mud.It was a refreshing experience.when the life is hectic,work is on the rise,relations are getting strained,the cool drops of rain,the chirping of sparrows,the illuminated ships in the wonderful sea cheer me up!there is a beautiful garden full of multi coloured flowers in the ground floor.each new bloom lifts my spirits. :)

The Annual Festival is starting at Sree Ayyappa Temple from tomorrow.the whole premises will be crowded with the devotees,the new priests from Kerala,the drummers and the artists of different cultural programmes.

Right from childhood,I was a chatterbox.I was often asked to keep silence atleast for five minutes.''Anu keeps silence only when she is asleep''.''What can we give you to keep your mouth shout?''Anu,please learn to listen.talk less''.[Anu learnt the lessons in a harder way].

As a part of the advanced course of Art Of Living,Nanda observed silence for three days in Switzerland and in Bangalore.that was terrible for us being unable to contact her when it was urgent.she enjoyed being away from the voice and speeches.and it was an unbelievable and amazing experience for her!we got a lovely book,Celebrating Silence written by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.If you get a chance please read this book.I was wondering,how can people keep silent for even ten minutes?[gradually,I started learning-silence is powerful].

Yes,my dear ones,I am trying hard and thus this post is written.

Silence is golden

When our own words fail

In proving the innocence

And instead,we are being accused.

Silence is golden

When someone wants

To dig deeper mercilessly

And you start feeling uncomfortable.

Silence is golden

When our thoughts are not clear

Getting confused about future

And the present looks bleak!

Silence is golden

When our life undergoes

The trials and tribulations

And we have to just wait patiently.

Silence is golden,

When we want to sing,

The most romantic song,

But our heartthrob doesn't have time!

Silence is golden,

When the caller tune wakes you up,

But the emotional voice from your heart,

Does not reach your lips!

Silence is golden

When we lose our emotioanl stability.

And we don't want our dear ones,

To be aware of the same!

Silence is golden

When she misses him a lot,

But she doesn't want him,

To know the pleasant truth!

Silence is golden

As the nature looks beautiful,

When the raindrops makes

Her so romantic in thoughts!

Silence is golden

When the best friend moves away;

Breaking our hearts,

Into bits and pieces!:(

Silence is golden

When I watch the amazing sea;

Sipping the hot cup of coffee,

Sitting in my balcony!

Silence is golden

When our words fail to enter the heart

Where you had a special place

Like a diamond in the ring!

Silence is golden

When you find it

Difficult to say ,'no',

As it is painful for him!

Silence is golden

When the undivided attention is lost,

You start feeling miserable,

Neglected and insulted!

Silence is golden

When he/she starts looking

At the watch or outside,

Showing his/her disinterest!

Silence is golden

When promises are forgotten.

Leaving you all alone,

Knowing not what to do!

Silence is golden

When her dreams surround him;

But he refuses to understand,

Everything is still the same!

Silence is golden

When Anu is asked,

The very personal

Mysterious deails! :)

Friends,you can decide now when speech is silver and silence is golden!many unwanted things can be avoided by just keeping silence![a lesson learnt late].

Turning points do occur ;but we never know when and how.I am reading the book,BLINK by Malcolm Gladwell.I just can't say go to bed without a book in my hand.{my blues turn into red!}most of the books are gifts from my Kishen.

It's Anu signing off...............

I hope it will rain tonight too.I need the cool showers very badly.I know talking makes the ice melt.but why should I?You tell me.A break may help a relation to grow stronger.:)Iprotest by keeping silence.this is my peaceful way to show that I disagree.

Dil de diya hai

Jaan tumhe denge.........................

wishing you a peaceful and dreamy night,

Anu loves all of you,

Sasneham,

Anu
