Musings on "VERBOSE"

Dear All

Oxford Dictionary tries to define the word 'verbose' in following words.....WORDY, loquacious, garrulous, voluble, long-winded, prolix, lengthy, tautological etc.,

One biggest problem for great thinkers and scholars is that they will have a natural tendency to verbalize the events and situations that happen to them. I normally identify them as "Left" people or simply "leftists" who predominantly operate from the left side of their brain.

I do understand "knowledge is power". I also clearly appreciate the fact that in today's world dumb people and obsolete people stand no chance to gain a career - rather in personal front too - that they aspire for...if they don't expand their knowledge, think a lot, take decisions, form "opinions" ...and execute their visions.

I had always been a "right"ist. Day dreaming has not been my hobby but my full time job. I get into unexplainable mood swings quite often because of the strings that got attached to me like emotions, feelings and my expressions in the form of these poems, musings. Though I had been a confirmed rightist all these days, I do realise the power, potential and capabilities of the Leftists. Being in a leading position at my office, I take care to ensure that the thinkers of my team are fully engaged and more importantly recognized.

However, I some times feel aghast at my inability to express the value of silence and things that we gain / earn by being a rightist....the amount of bliss it gives to me and the enrichment in the very quality of life when we start appreciating the tiniest thing of life...and not getting dry with sense of logic and thinking...!! Many of my poems (even this musings) are a fallout of great inner feeling that I had had until now. The way I am enjoying the "moments" these days, I get a feeling I am going to dish out lot more poems in future..and I have just arrived as a novice with my limited scribblings in the past 2 - 3 years.

Being a verbose basically, many people tend to misunderstand me as an extrovert but they never know that I am a cocktail of both "ism"s - capable of spilling too many words at times and much more comfortable to remain still and silent in few other situations. I also clearly understand that this type of mindset and character that I am right now has not happened by own volition....but more a divine grace (or "curse").

When I happen to see some "left" side VERBOSE (just rubbed my shoulders with some one at office yesterday ...!!! ) I feel like crying and letting them know that there is a better way to handle this urge to share our experiences with the world....and the way we can use this powerful capacity of expression as a self improvement tool. Such poor souls (I mean "left" Verbose) get satiated with winning arguments with people around and feeling delighted about such petty things.

When the ocean of honey is available right in front of us waiting to be consumed, why to keep satisfied with "licking" the backside of our palm....as the proverb goes......

Well, I prefer to close this long musings quite abruptly....not because I don't have too many words within me BUT just to give any one who reads this musings a taste of feeling silence themselves....and not understanding it from my written words.

Krishnaarpanam as always....
