Express yourself...

Not long ago.. i wrote about weighing our words.. thinking before we speak... and here i am presenting its corollary... i know it sounds very cliche after being Airtel's tag line.. "Express Yourself"..

There have been innumerable occasions when we feel strongly about something but let it stay within ourselves..our dreams.. our thoughts.. our ideas.. our ambitions.. our emotions... Vent it let the other person know how you feel.. Because till you don't say it, it is more than likely that the other person wont know how you feel...

How many times has a small misunderstanding lead to an argument, an argument into a fight.. and ultimately to an out of hand situation.. all that was a little talking and a little listening... Airtel was right again when they said "talking breaks barriers" but talking not breaks but also prevents barriers..

When was the last time you told your mom a "thank you" or gave her a compliment for all she's done for you??? When was the last time you told your dad "I'm there don't worry"??? when did you tell your siblings that "you care"?? when was the last time you told your spouse you love them dearly???

There are many who argue that true love and care doesn't need words.. it can be felt.. but today in this fast moving world of cut throat competition and superficial relationships sometimes our loved ones need to hear the genuine word of love care... and see the smile on their face and the sparkle in their eyes..

As Madonna says..

"You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last"

So don't hold it back... it may be a small thank you.. or a little sorry.. a hug... a sweet song.. or a simple i love you.. a small note.. a bunch of flowers.. or anything personalised for your loved one.. you don't have to be perfect.. if you feel it express it because that might be what the other person is waiting to hear.. Express Yourself and feel the difference..
