Mercury rising.

I am surely not talking about quantum physics! In fact I can not talk about physics at all. This is because all I know about physics is how it is spelt. The same applies to many many topics! But let me not deviate- so, though I know nothing about physics I am told that one can see physics all around us… well, perhaps I’ve started to realize this off late! So one of my brave attempts goes like this-

It is popular belief that ‘I’ listen less and ‘talk’ more. No offense to anyone. But when so many of your dearest ones say the same line I might as well accept it otherwise what they keep saying will actually become the truth! So adhering to this popular belief I decided to think differently and start listening to what the folks around me said. A genuine attempt.

As a result of listening to my folks with as much attention as they wanted me to pay- I experienced this strange phenomenon of Mercury Rising! The steps are as under-

• The conversation starts (or rather the one way talk starts). I am calm and attentive!
• The talk starts titillating sensitive topics and deciphering my non-existent stance on them. I am quite but not calm!
• As I keep quite the other person is encouraged and the pin pointing increases – there erupts an urgent desire to interrupt but no! One must listen first! Ok… so I compose myself with great restraint and manage to overcome my desire to speak!
• Finally when all the expressions of the speaker find a desired end, they stop the conversation! I am saved!

Result- I’ve taken more than what was necessary.

So folks I know that listening is very very important but the truth also remains that every person can not always talk sense! Period! So don’t make it your regular line to tell people – ‘listen to me first’! Believe in conversations! Share and then make the other person understand. Otherwise the rising mercury cannot be always be succumbed.
