A blunt knife may never kill anyone, but a blunt truth does!

It was half past midnight and I was looking at the photographic escapade of a pal of mine. One amongst them grabbed my attention. Nothing too exceptional about it, just another knife lying on the floor right!

A careful second look made me feel as if there is a story behind this inanimate object. Sometimes it’s just a way you look at things in life, which makes all the difference.

A blunt knife! What harm can it do to anyone after all? It’s just lying down there on the floor, lifeless, may be it feels useless to have one. 

Another look at the knife and I ask myself...  “How about if I was to personify the knife to truth?”  That’s when it all changes.  No one likes them, do we?

“Blunt truth”, seldom can we take it when truth hits us hard, hard where it hurts the most! I don’t claim to be a saint who has seen it all and can bear it all.

Yet another look at the photograph and I’m lost in thoughts again. At times even when it’s a blunt truth spoken, it’s kind of talking to deaf ears. People just shrug it off, is it their ignorance or sheer arrogance. Arrogance of not heeding to what you have to say.

But someday the bluntness in you words might awaken their asleep souls; it might just kill their fallacy that they are always perfect and sole crusaders of righteousness.

I take a last look at the picture and I sign off by saying... “A blunt knife may never kill anyone, but a blunt truth does!”

The flight had to make an emergency landing owing to the bad weather. After ten long years Sanjeev had finally decided to take a vacation. Akash had convinced him during a casual chat on Facebook the previous night that it was high time he broke out of the self imposed shell and fourteen hours later he was on his way to meet his childhood friend in Delhi.

Awakening Of the Inner Self!

It was yet another  Friday  or billions of earthlings. May be it was a mundane day ahead for some and exciting for others. An exciting day ahead for the ones who were certain of the joy to be unwrapped the next day, the weekend. Well, in my case it was the former. Blame it on being one amongst the many who work on Saturdays.
