An idea, a thought, an anecdote, a story or a poem a day!

 Listening is a gift of time and attention, and that is what we want “for us from others”, and it should also be a gift “from us to others!” Yes, we are in a hurry, have too much on our mind, there is no time to waste on things which can be done without speaking or listening, or done mechanically! Or it could be that we are just waiting to say what we want to say. And miscommunication? yes, we can blame it on anything, but truly, it is something for which we can blame only us, yes, when we hear what others say, but don’t listen, we are not present, we are absent from the communication

 Yes, the galaxy has a blackhole! No, it’s not like the hole in the ozone layer, we can’t take the credit for this one, it is the dying stars being mourned by heavens, dear, I don’t think any blackholes appear when beggars die! At the heart of this eternal light, spread in miles of milky way, there is darkness, through which the stardust,  the stuff that dreams are made of, is seeping in, like tears being sucked in  giving heavens a bloodshot eye.
