A day when I was dumb
One fine day out of nowhere a sudden thought struck me! I thought how it would be if I can spend a whole day without any sort of communication.
I wish I could put something like this. But nothing comes out of thin air. In reality every action has a small reason behind it. And my reason is several articles I read about silence and words. Anyway here goes my experience ‘On the day when I was silent!’
Any sort of communication means no communication with outside world or with any other person! Though that was what i had in mind it did not go like that.
The following words were written on that same day and its written with whatever emotions I had in that moment. Presenting it unedited!
Being silent is just like having a two sided knife! It’s both a boon and bane depending on various times. When you are in anger, you feel like shouting and unable to do it feels very irritable.. Highly irritating. And thr are times wen u r accused of wrong things but u haven’t done anything at those times, u r naturally falsely accused and u r unable to vindicate urself of d false accusations. Also one thing about being silent and giving a bland smile is that it can irritate the person opposite to u too much. Even as I type this stuff I am shaking with anger, irritation and desperation to shout back at many ppl. I feel highly irritating jus for one day that too wen am within my home the whole day! Sad to think about other dumb people who are doomed to unexpress their feelings through mouth! A silent smile is the most irritable thing that u can do to anyone wen they ask a question, wen someone irritates u or wen someone wants to see u get irritated! When we are in utmost anger it is best to keep silent instead of expressing our opinions. When ur voice should really have been raised at a time n if u haven’t done so u will definitely feel that thing deep in ur heart even after u remain silent for a whole day! But if ur anger and the opinion that u were about to express were silly, stupid, unrelated, unwanted or unjust then u would definitely understand that and you will have the inclination to do it after an hour or two!
Silence is definitely a boon and also a bane! This was the experience I gained during the whole day! Thought I tried to be silent without any communication it was a flop and did not work out well. The incessant questions that were shot at me, stupid moments that I had to face, awkward times when I had to do sign languages, irritable frnd who did not know anything about my idea and made me do sign languages as if am playing charades with him (was almost as good as talking).. grr completely irritating! Just as my mom pointed out the day before I started it, it is definitely a big mistake to undergo such a task at home or at domestic circles, it is always better to do it at an isolate location where u can remain completely away from any sort of communication!
One more thing that was both irritating and made feel helpless was the inability to express my frustration at the match between csk and rcb.. The qualifier 1 on 24-05-2011… Initially wen Chennai was batting I wanted to shout at them! Alas mouth was tied by my own brain! Then again the final moment of winning. I din want to spoil my 23.5 hours of struggle in jus one moment. I had to keep my mouth shut again and not shout after they won! So ultimately the day of choosing my little experiment proved to be very wrong! A severe headache both at the start of the game and at the end of the game! But finally the day ended good wen I wished my dear sister a happy birthday after keeping mum for 24 hours!! Jus gr8!
Though the ultimate idea of keeping silent is very great it can still be applied not only on certain special occasions but also on almost all of the days by talking and conveying opinions only when needed and by not going and sticking one’s nose into every trivial happening that goes around us! This has been a great experience today, learned a lot and I do hope that this will pave for better days in the coming days!
