Many people have I seen and met-
Many seen,
Some met,
Few me's.
Friendship gets fast built with commonalities-
Life experiences or likes
Interest or ideology
Level of perspective
Yea, common faith too!
Yet rare is, all present in one man!
Not even possible, methought,
Until I met you!
If those few hours of candid chat had a pair of eyes,
They saw my real me-
My real essence expressing itself fully.
I never knew a man can be so me!
I salute the years of life you've lived-
Those years of struggles and silenced drops!
These tempestuous storms will eventually fade.
Keep focused on the Lighthouse,
Keep navigating,
To have a safe entry to the Harbour.
At the Coast of Success,
Yes, at that Coast,
With mixed feelings
You'll oftentimes recall all these 'salty waters'
And proudly call them "my life experiences".

A decade and four must have passed now, I had a Bengali maid for whom all other languages, except Sylheti Bengali, were Greek and Latin. Yet, everything used to be fine when hubby was around.
One day, in the absence of hubby, I misplaced my Airtel SIM Card (reporting a lost SIM Card, applying for and getting a new one was a long annoying process then). I tried hard to locate it all alone. I searched up and down, down and up again. After a couple of failed hours, I was sure I needed to talk to her and get her help. I called her and lucidly explained to her the lost item, showing with my thumb and forefinger its miniature size. I was pretty sure my explanation was clear enough (Why not? I explained with all the gestures under the sky!)
She then set out for the search. I too, continued. After some 40/45 minutes of the silent search, she called out, "Mami! Yay, I found it there, there near the garbage. I remember, I threw it this morning, not knowing."
Not only I, everything else in my room on that day was suddenly, so happy. I decided I must buy her a new beautiful pinkish salwar suit the next day. Oh, my lovely maid! How I appreciated her! I then asked her to bring it.
Lo! With that air of a child running to its mother expecting her applause for doing something 'great', she came running to me- all happy smiles. She handed me the 'SIM Card' which actually was a price tag of the T-shirt bought the previous day.

Gossips and idle talks abound,
Negative and destructive criticisms too.
But a well-meant reproval hits
Like a tiny sparkling ember.
The receiver feels it,
He yells and bawls.
The dress is gifted a hole
The skin gets a tiny burn.
Ignorable the hole is!
The pain too lasts for a few secs
Yet, its lasting memory gonna be powerful.

Talking may not always be a form of monologue, dialogue or conversation. The person talking to you may not have any concrete messages to convey to you in the linguistic expression. He may not need your response, feedback, confirmation or, your participation in the communication. You may just be expected to be a passive receiver of the talk or, your mild smile or nod may just suffice. Talking can just be a Verbal Symbolic Gesture where the one who does the talking conveys nice gestures like "It's ok", "I feel sorry", "I have no enmity with you", "Let's patch up", "Peace!" etc..
(To be elaborated later...)
