I just cant help thinking of the drops of tears ever since i saw a girl crying.It happened just less than a week back during a farewell function that a girl broke out unto tears trying to deliver a little speech to her mates who all were parting.My heart skipped a beat to hear someone's voice break out of emotional out-pour.It stirred in me a myriad of emotions.
The earliest moment that i can remember "PROPERLY" of that I cried to my heart's content is, yes, when i was escorted for the first time into my kinder-garten classes by my Daddy.When he just left the class-room submitting my miniature self into the hands of the teacher,I didnt know what was happening!it was like the whole Universe conspiring against me to snatch my heaven outta my tiny hands...all i can remember "now" is- my vision getting hazier with every step of my dad awaywards from me..i knew then,"THAT" is called tears..
From then on i've seen many cry,my mom ,my brother,friends,enemies,neighbors..
When i was a kid,I felt it was sickening to see someone cry!1the feelin dramatically changed as i stepped into adulthood.I realised that as a child my heart n soul was very light and never carried something heavy.Rather they were pure.As i grew up,the heart,mind,soul n body got polluted to extremes that has no loathing,but yet had "stress" mounting very slowly.There came issues which i had no ventilation on;to the things which i could never react properly,or rather never got to react.I knew I had those inhibitions which as a child i never had.I knew there were external eyes which can menacingly n penetratingly look into every stupid uninhibited action of mine!I am literally tied down!!
I could easily derive a simple formula that the intensity of TEARS is the sum total of the number of stressful incidents that I've faced up without reacting to!!!
We cry not just out of pain!!U cant just call every tear provoking incident to be painful.Joy,nostalgia,patriotism,care,affection,love,parting,gratitude are a few to name to show u the liquid of emotions which u always tend to forget,existed inside Ur eyes!!
Of all the tears I've witnessed,the ones i rate always in high esteem are those of ---
- my parents when i met with an accident and I was bleeding.The tears rolled off everytime my wound gaped and i was hissing n panting.
- a lady-love of some guy whom i met at the railway-station.This couple were like pampering each other ,giggling,kicking each other,till the train started and the guy had to board the train.All the while i could only see the back of the girl n the face of the boy.But as the train moved I could see the girl's face for the first time n i saw she was smiling!on close-look she was -My God weeping!Incessantly I'd say.
- Mine wen i cried watching India win the "HERO-CUP"finals in cricket when i was inn my second standard! i didn't even know the rules of the game n all i knew was my country had won!
- My student(name not to mention) when i jocularly told her that she had failed in a test in which she had actually emerged the topper.Her tears came out along with a smile when i revealed the truth
- finally,'This' girl whom i mentioned at the beginning of the write-up.
Those TEARS that are shed for the sake of others hath none to parallel/compete for in terms of GLORY!!!
