Getting into someone's emotional shoes is
very difficult. Sometimes, people are not even aware of what others go through.
I mean the "near and dear" ones. A lack of compassion!
Probably I can't but be cynical when
everyone makes the "right" moves and overtures because it is festival
time and about the rest of the year, the less said the better.
Socializing, partying, endorsing
"friendships" by being with friends and spending time with them has
become more gratifying than spending time with family.
There should be less hypocrisy and more
honesty because the world has changed and those who crave for family
relationships must become wiser , less expecting and read the writing on the
walls which are loud and clear.
I see so much isolation in the hearts of
those who grapple to give a genuine smile to the world. It seldom reaches the
eyes. Amidst the loud noise of the crackers, hearts are teary and heavy.
I am not morose, just saying it as I see
it. And my heart goes out to those who have no joy in their hearts, whether
Holi or Divali because they don't want to go through the rights motions just
for a day anymore.
