Shades of blue

One of those days when everything seems to be just falling down in front of my eyes. All the dreams going down the drain. All the plans going haywire. All the faith just crumbling.

They say this is what life is made up of…ups and downs, highs and lows. So profound! Like I didn’t know that. Why do people throw such extremely deep and ponderous sentences when all you need is a listening ear and not an eternally talking mouth?

I thought listening was the easiest thing to do on earth. If you don’t want to take the pains of actually listening, you can even get away with pretending that you are listening. Just need to get a tight-lipped, knitted eye browed, look on your face and now and then give away the oriental nod just to be on the safer side. That way the other person would interpret the nod to suit his convenience.
