When Silence Speaks...

Life is a ____. I don’t know what word to fill in that blank today.  I heard from a friend that another soul left this world. Another angel is now smiling in the sky.  My friends mom, a very jovial and fun loving person, close to my heart, just vanished from this earth. Leaving us no chance to even understand the impact of her void.  After my Dad’s sudden demise 6 years back, I know better not to trust that loved ones will be with me till eternity. That uncertainty of having or not having the company of your loved one the very next minute, it truly kills. Just never ever end any conversations with a fight and always reconcile your differences when there’s a chance. Love them as much as you can today, and tell them how much they matter to you. Hold on to them as much as you can because they won’t ask you even once when they just escape from this world. And you will be left there standing in distraught craving for, just one more smile, one more word, one more hug.

Don't talk about religion, you will be called extremist. Don't talk about gays, you will be called sexist. Don't talk about color, you will be called racist. Don't talk about country, you will be called jingoist. Don't talk about women, you will be called chauvinist. Today we live in the world where we have to think so much before we speak.  Anything you speak out of free will with no ill intentions are being held against you in the name of harassment or being offensive. But I fail to understand why?  Literally, in today's world you CANNOT have an honest and open conversation of substance in public. Everything is controversial or a sensitive topic. Which leaves us with nothing but small talks about burgers, dresses or ketchup. (that sounds messed up, and that's how I feel today) Why? I was in a meeting earlier this week, where we were reviewing an org chart, and my VP (an American) suggests a correction in that pictorial representation
