Discerningly Loquacious



It’s very tough to be talkative and extrovert. It mandates the need of another person around you. This is not only because psychiatry has not evolved enough to distinguish between crazy self-talking and desperate self-talking, but because punch-lines do not sound as good when coming from self.

Respect talking, a good conversation is an art. From the many types of conversations, some of my fav categories are: “say nothing” (small talk), “what say Sherlock?”(get advice), “fish-bone”(analyze),”the pain” (venting session), “story telling”(dream-up),”good crap”(PJ contest), “sisterhood”(matching notes on life) ,”godman”(give advice),”superhero”(one listens awestruck) …..

All artists should be cynical even though being creative is their need. A painter needs to paint, a poet needs to write, a composer needs to make music … but they shall not plead and be desperate. They shall wait for the moment, the mood and the magic; throw tantrums; twist and turn; never pour just drip J

Being talkative and brimming from thoughts should not make you tolerant and accepting to talk to everyone who is ready to talk to you. You may not welcome everyone in your world with open arms, you may still judge and re-calibrate people in your life and you may still be very willing to show people the door as per your whims. The non-desperation transforms you from the irksome guy lurking at the smoking zone to the respectfully invited coffee mate; from laughable babbling of person speaking random thoughts to get them out of ones system to an intriguing intellectual.

Internet is always there when the emitting the eminent thoughts is vehemently essential.
