The Silence of Noise
Y’day i thought of eating out and went to a restaurant. Since it was just close to my home, so I thought walking down to the restaurant. It was a lovely, slightly chill evening with kinda calm, serene background. I really enjoyed that path but the moment I entered the restaurant, there was a crackling sound everywhere. I mean, any railway station would easily have competed in decibel level which was quite a contrast to what is observed earlier while walking.
Earlier I thought of leaving the place but my ravenous appetite made me stay. So, I ordered fast and was waiting for the order to come. After few minutes when I was engulfed in my thoughts, I some how started feeling at ease. The noise which was at the same level, started coming down and after my food was delivered, I suddenly felt that why there is so calm here, where all my vocalizing natives went. I mean, how come the earlier deafening noise had become so hushed. Is it how its supposed to be. Is it how we just stop reacting to anything after some time? Does noise always become silent after some time ?
I mean, how come our views change so often and so soon with time and we nicely put it as time heals everything. If we see in our regular life as well, we often crib about our tyrannical boss, servile job, monotonous life but we still carry on without trying to change anything. Why we start accepting everything that comes in our lives. Why we always go with the flow and never want to take a detour no matter how much interesting is it. Why we always are able to find reasons to justify ourselves as to why ought to be happy and not change anything.
I still couldn’t answer myself for being in same job for 4 years when I don’t belong here.
