Yesterday, I had a tough schedule. I was awake till three in the morning. My phone wasn't busy rather my mind was busy working on physics. It was all going fine as I could concentrate much more due to the silence around.
And that's when my mind yelled at me, "Excuse me, silence?". I was a bit confused but when I closed my books and spared a few minutes to observe anything and everything I could hear, I realised that silence didn't seem to be silent anymore. The tick tock of the hands of the clock, according to me was the main culprit who was disobeying the phrase 'pin drop silence' at three in the morning. Complementing its efforts beautifully was a bunch of people who were busy talking on the road outside.
That's when a thought struck me. Time is so powerful and unstoppable. But what's more powerful than time is 'silence' or the 'imperfect silence' because be it whatever time in our life or in day silence never seems to be silent. It always emerges victorious against time be it in the form of tick tock of the hands of a clock or the struggle of a million thoughts in our mind.
Hence, we bending before time is totally fair because even time bends before us. After all, it's we humans only who indirectly break the silence. We are the ones who whisper among our colleagues and friends and break the silence of a seemingly silent room.
