..thought about writing smthn in this post on 6th (i.e. the date there,rt?), and now am writing today i.e. on 25th (9:56 a.m.) after i picked up an old edition of Times Life (24 aug) accidently an hour before and found this o-zone article worth mentioning. The article is by Vinita Nangia and is titled.."Is respect such a fragile thing?" I'll quote few lines and then take over by myself, for my self.
IT'S a scary thought. But, sometimes just a word, a sentence spoken at the wrong time; a response or lack of it can sound the death knell of a respect that has taken a lifetime to build. It's happened to all of us at some point. We hang on to the high regard we have for people through many ups and downs, excusing them for almost anything. And then just one un-feeling action or word can bring that high esteem crashing down like a pack of cards..
Truly the last straw, and suddenly you find urself dis-illusioned and empty-handed, surprised at the face u saw, the entity that lurked behind the identity you thought u knew so well. Is this the friend you trusted with your deepest secrets and shared ur most spontaneous thoughts with? Is this the lover u gave ur all to? Is this the colleague u mentioned over the years and is what he actually thinks of u? Is this the way................., so at varience with ur self perception?
Maybe yes. Hurts...........................
Rest of the article, as it what appeared to me justified or in a way asserted the doer's point of view, i'll talk of reciever.. that is what we generally carry along with us, no? WE dont tend to forget.. some say chill maar, chhod yar.. i hate such remarks. And y do we not tend to forget.. because rather than that we (un-exceptionally - I) don't forget the best times spent with such identities, and it exceptionally hurts when every such moment is recall-ed, the way tws once lived ..and the way one wants it to come back again.
Fool you are.. a voice calls. And the better ! -
- u, I, We, Some, one - try to keep the broken ends together and make promises, u wont (and u know - rather, u will)
