I went to the Garden of Love.
And saw what I never had seen:
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And "Thou Shalt Not", writ over the door;
So I turn'd to the Garden of Love,
That so many sweet flowers bore,
And I saw it filled with graves,
And tomb-stones where flowers should be:
And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And on stake were put , my joys & sorrows for free....

Word’s World Literally!! ……
I initially wanted to tag the writing as ‘Through the eyes of an introvert’ but it would have been psychologically a wrong usage, for ‘introvert’ refers to some one who is within himself/ herself and with my GRE approaching I wanted to give room to the ‘nuances’.
Scene 1
Take 1: Sitting among a group of friends who were apparently discussing (umm.. what were they discussing?) umm…SOMETHING (I was too busy absorbing the play of emotions on their faces, to acknowledge what was the topic of discussion!).
One of them says what do u think?
Me: Yeah what(mera naam bola na kissi ne)?
Ouff... you are lost in your own world again!
Me: Ummm….(o.0.O since when was it ‘being in my own world’ :( )
Take 2: Ahh 2 frenz and me.….
(Now that’s fun, more like my scene….)
From serious ‘intricacies’ to the usual and mind you also the unusual ‘bantering’
Bingo I am part of it (in and out)…
(I have enough time to register the modulation of the tone, the slight shift in the facial expressions and even that little gleam in the eyes and still be the part of the conversation and even enjoy it EUREKA!)
The best is undoubtedly one to one…. my multitasking capabilities at their best…
(or is it?)
Scene 2:
Joint studying (Even Univ exams sound interesting ab!)
Nanti: lets divide the course and then would explain to the other
Srishti: sends the word doc with mem 1,2,3 in diff font colors…(this happens during the time nanti and I am ‘discussing’ who shud do what?)
Time for discussion…
Take 1:
Me: well…I mean….it says…u know…its obvious….that is…
Nanti: abe kya bol rahe hai?
Take 2:
Me: GGSN is another supporting node that is required for GSM
Srishti: GSM ya GPRS?
Me: GPRS obv wohi to discuss karing
Nanti: Tune GSM bola tha pallo, theek se bol
Me: Now did I? Kab? Arre I meant that only…
Srishti: koi nayi baat nahi hai ab tak aadat padh gayi hai….
Take 3: (time for girl talk…)
Me:I mean….u know…it was like…
Ouch! Not again….
Scene 3:
While running to my room to catch up with my ‘the then made’ schedule (it was around an year back!) I pass through the courtyard (I was in the hostel then!) and see this girl sitting quite and looking up in the no-space (the betraying scene of the world is crumbling underneath). I walk up to her and I have never found silence more powerful. After about 15 min’s or so she finally managed crumpled words which was just what the doctor ordered!
She recently filled in my ‘autograph diary’ which said ‘Di! I never really spoke that day and yet….’
While traveling in the metro I see this friend of mine, a shade ‘chip torn’, and I hear another ‘How did you know?’ And the best was when one of my friends said ‘am I that transparent?’
HeHe…Naa I am a little too weird (o O…I mean I have never really been good with words ‘personally’ so I don’t really need them)…
Hmm….you are too sensitive she replied …
Umm….mebbe!
Scene 4:
Take 1:
Tune use kuch kaha kyu nahi
Me: yaar pata nahi I can’t say it out loud?
Haan but affect sab karta hai...bol ke side ho ja! Umm…yaar why are you itna hyper-sensitive?Nobody thinks itna...
Me: (o0O… abhi tak to sensitive thi abhi ye hyper sensitive kaise?).
Take 2:
Me: wassup?
Nothing.Call kyu kia?
Me: aise he
Bol to fir kuch?
Me: Kya bolon?
Kya hua?
Me: umm…nothing will talk later when you are free abhi xams and all are on so u would be busy
Bol naa. Tujhe kya pata main free hun ya nahi?
Me: nahi baad mein karenge
Oufff! Itna dimaag mat lagaya kar (jo tere paas hai nahi)!
(o0O….now was I not thinking about the other person?)…
Scene 5
Me: Haan to yahi to kaha tha
2 din pehle u said something else
Me: arre it meant the same thing naa
Gawd the two things aren’t same
Me: No but I MEANT the same thing!
But they were NOT the same things!
Me: Are you saying I am a liar?
Now I didn’t say that?
Me: But that’s wot it means?
Ouff!! Now don’t turn maudlin!
Me: But…I mean…you to should … understand…
Rehne de
(Touche!...weren’t you the one, I could manage complete sentences with?
Umm…then what the hell happened?)
Scene 6:
NAHI I don’t wanna c WHATS NEXT! Hehehe..
Well it’s a word's-world with the 'word's-worth' literally !!
Is not it?
PS:-Strangely the word ‘word’ was coined in the year 1467 (which was far before the word ‘language’ was coined in the year 1588) and it meant ‘one or more spoken sounds’ and considering what it means today the word ‘word’ has surely come a full circle. Surely!
