AN OUTBURST...
I am sure most
of you have celebrated a lot of Birthday parties in their childhood. And you
remember the time when we used to decorate our rooms with balloons for such
parties. In my case, I had a small gang of kids for doing this task of
inflating balloons and we used to compete as whose balloon would be larger, and
in doing so I always used to fill the balloon with more and more air, using all
my efforts. Actually as kids we give our
soul into the things we enjoy, & it was similar, no matter how hard it
was to blow a big balloon, I tried it with all my heart. And sometimes during
this process the balloon got filled beyond its threshold limit and burst out
making a large bang and all the kids present used to laugh on it. And we all
used to enjoy even bursting the balloons this way. And there were some balloons
that never gets inflated, it was so irritating to blow up such balloons, no
matter how hard I tried they remain in their original shape & form. And there
were some which gets inflated to a big size but before I can tie the knot
securely, the air just oozed out, because of my own mistake or because of a
tiny built-in hole that I didn´t noticed earlier… so whatever was the case, as kids we used to
have fun even doing such things..
And after
reading up till now, you either must have gone back to your old days or must be
feeling why the hell I am talking so much about balloons? The reason was I remembered
this thing the previous day and that made me to ponder about a weird feeling
that I experience certain times and would like to share it with all of you:
Have you ever
felt that the thing for which you were waiting patiently is about to occur or is
very near to you and your heart is filled up with all the pent up emotions that
are struggling to come out. And when you are near to that final point, to your
surprise, it´s by mistake or cause of something you never really understood, a small hole built in your heart and all the emotions just
pass through it. Instead of the outburst, you were waiting for, your heart
oozes out the emotions or slips them away and become deflated, similar
to the balloon which instead of bursting with a large sound (for our
amusement), got mishandled or possessed a tiny hole and got deflated.
How that
feels? The feeling is really weird because you don’t know the reason. The reason,
why there was no outburst of emotions by you but instead you remained the way
you were earlier and let the moment slipped by. You may blame later that it was
because of the surroundings or situation that time but your heart has no answer
for it, cause now it lies like a deflated balloon: all empty
& without emotions. And then you realize how sometimes an
outburst is better than just letting go off your emotions.
