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.
