Mind Games!-- Part 1

Dear Mind-Gamers,

So we started off  like any other story in the world.. as strangers, then getting acquainted to each other, lots of random chatter, en route to a decent enough friendship with room for slightly more. Your actions were being sweetly predictable and that was a relief, until you decided to turn around and fall back to square one! Leaving us stumped and doubting our own judgement, little did we know it a was just a brainchild of your boredom, perhaps to 'spice up' your otherwise mundane life, maybe you were done with all the board games and decided to 'up' the level. We were glumly trapped at your whims.. while you decided to play games with our feelings, falling back and forth like a yo-yo, your actions turning hot and cold at the drop of a dime! Its actually your good fortune that nobody has thrown a chair at you in frustration.. yet.. but the time will come, people are bound to get tired of guessing your next move, eventually stop reacting to your inadvertent pretense and you'll finally get beaten at your own game. The so- called exciting labyrinth of your thought process will just come to an unheralded close, when someone finally comes to you and says, my friend its high time you 'Grew Up!'

Sincerely,

Confused souls (who very soon won't give a damn)

Haunting Silence

Many of you might have come across a phase in your daily life where everything goes quiet, not only from the outside, now that’s pretty easy to achieve, but from the inside too! The incessant chatter in your brain gradually numbs down and at some point shuts off.. To many, this might be quiet eerie at the beginning,  like an invisible cord of communication being cut off from the world and yourself, to not have a voice inside your head telling you what to do or what you are thinking, just random images flashing here and there and now gradually blurring off. Perhaps unnerving to some, where we tend to speculate that this muted state might be the calm before an upcoming storm or some optimists might take it as a moment of peace and tranquility. Whatever the connotation might be, we still expect this silence to last for a short duration and hope for the normal jargon of life to reappear. Somehow, no one allows silence to engulf them, like it belongs to something still and lifeless. Ironically, its inner peace and quiet that are on the wishlist of most humans, but we still can’t tolerate it after a while. Almost satirical to see a rather harmless state of nature, daunting the human minds.
