CHATTER BOX : कितना बोलती हो ना

_

To all those who say “तू ज्यादा बोलती है”…

I don’t know why people state like this….maybe because I am not introvert and more likely to be extrovert or maybe I try to keep the conversation going on.

Since childhood, back when I was in standard 5 my teacher used to tag me as “talkative”…Oh! Now teachers are never wrong!!

They tagged me well, but let’s complete their sentence “talkative, but bright”…. my happiness was in being “BRIGHT”. Nevermind, but i think as a kid a single happy word makes you feel so good!!

Since that was just childhood, I used to think…oh! Priya just calm down, being talkative is okay and this is going to pass….which of course “never passed”.

From class 5 to till this life ends (maybe), I think or say I have already presumed that there is no hope left in me to be quiet 😂. This is not just about the teacher’s comments… dude friends to foe every one poked me “please will you be quite”.

Hmm…So now, why am I writing all this just to let you know all that, I am a crazy talkative girl? No, I am writing all this just because these multiple comments somewhere hit me so hard, that at end of the day at least for once I think “do I irritate people, Am I so bad that all say me to be quiet”

“तूझे नहीं लगता तू कितना बोलती है”, this has always made me think I should stay silent even because everyone has right to enjoy their mental peace which of course I hamper!!

Now, when I am into my age (adult) where it matters to me how do people judge you (it’s just a saying…that others judgment should not affect you), it does affects you sometimes positive, sometimes negative!!

Now since it’s been a long run now…where I still get the same comment from my friends!! There’s where I stopped, thought for a second that, I speak so much just to keep the conversation going just to keep a lively situation but somewhere I found “everyone is not a good listener” and I need to mould myself according to people.

I know people will still say “इसमें भी इतना सारा बोल दिया”…. believe me; no one is just because he wants to be….. It’s his/her nature. कुछ तुम समझो, कुछ हम समझ जाएंगे।।

So, this was a personal to me which I always felt…This is a habit won’t go so soon, but I am trying to change a bit will change soon….just wanted to say to all those teacher’s, friends and many more to know that…..

यारो ये ना समझ बैठना की हम नादान है…

तुम चुप ही सही हो…

हमारा तो बोलना ही शान है…

पर वक़्त की फेरी है,बदलना तो पड़ेगा…

थोड़ा हम समझ लेते है…

पर थोड़ा तुम्हे भी तो समझना पड़ेगा।।
