Sujata: Are you serious? If yea, see the second comment.

Bindhu Chechi: Nice to see you back after a long time. You know it well, right?

Nice line, Arun. Set me thinking. Found several folds of meaning. How old are you?

Arun Meethale Chirakkal said...

Thank you Sir. I’m quite old, 32 precisely.

i asked your age because i have observed meanings changing with age, the knocks one have received in life. what you write when you are 32 will have a different meaning when you reach 53. words have different folds of meanings, haven't you noticed it? if i tell you what i received from this line of yours, you may even be surprised.:-)

Arun Meethale Chirakkal said...

Indeed Sir, I agree totally. Words acquire different meanings. I don’t want to waste your precious time but here I’ve a post titled ‘The Making of a Cynic’, let me provide you the link: http://aruns-darkalley.blogspot.com/2009/06/making-of-cynic.html

Sometimes I feel quite old at 32, may be because I may not have much in common with my generation and feel that I belong to another generation. I’m an old fashioned misfit. I thank you once again for your valuable comments. In my blog, in the next page there’s another one-liner. Let me copy paste it here for you: When one goes around loud, what one misses are the subtleties where life is at its intense best.

These lines – I don’t claim that they possess any quality; literary or philosophical – come to mind as it is as I go through life.

Dear Arun. I read your piece cynic also. You are serious about writing well. In fact, it is an offense not to try to write as well as you can, because even governments exist in words. Do you know who said that? William Carlos Williams, justifying why he had struggled and struggled to write well. So the thing is never to be satisfied until you are sure you had communicated what you wanted to communicate the most effective way possible.

Arun Meethale Chirakkal said...

Thank you sir, i agree with that. In fact, I belive it's an offense not to do justice to one's potential.
