Two mins

Two mins of conversation

I was walking on road along with my dog Mino when I got a call from my wife, she asked me where are u and I told her that I am doing my evening stroll with Mino and Ma. She told me that “ok, whenever u r free, give me a call.” Then a thought struck to my mind.

                In day to day activities, we hardly get time to speak to our loved ones for a long time but we generally get these two mins do some short conversation. We generally use these ‘two mins’ to talk about materialistic things or sometimes gossips or to share national news or to share our anger. When we share our anger, do we ever thought ‘how the other person is, in what mental state he is, how is his or her health is, what all happened with him in the day time, whether he is feeling sleepy or he is in the mood to talk or not’, I think we never do. We just make a call and just start saying whatever is coming in our mind and when we get relieved we generally put the phone down. So, it means that by sharing that anger we share our mental burden with him without even realizing that he is in the state to share it or not and moves away even without enquiring that after sharing our mental burden, is he able to stand straight or not. In short we never wait for any special moment to share the unhappiness.

                But When we are happy, rejoiced, recharged, positive etc etc …that time, whenever we make a call, we think twice before sharing our good things with that person, we first enquire that his mood is in the right state or not, he has time or not, he is in the right atmosphere or not, he should not be feeling sleepy, whether he is listening to me or not, his full attention is with me or not; the crux is we want that when we share something good, everything should be in its perfect state. For that we are ready to wait also without even realizing that these precious moments might not come again. We might never get a chance to tell that special feeling again.  I feel that may be instead of waiting for the right moment we should take our chance and tell the good things also spontaneously. You never know instead of waiting for a perfect moment to share those good feelings, those good feelings make that imperfect moment PERFECT.
