My emotions.....

You can call them your strength, your weakness, a boon or a curse… the fact remains that we all are emotional. Emotional doesn’t mean if you cry every now and then, it doesn’t mean if you are a poet, a lover or a dreamer. It doesn’t start from happiness and ends at sadness. It is not just the madness that we all show for movies, cricket or music… It is not just a passion that you carry for your favorite subjects or even social networking for that matter… It is a beautiful mixture of all of the above… People trying to behave as if they are emotion-resistant, are the most emotional creatures and, this fact is something which scares them and helps them maintain that stand.

There is this belief that emotions are only meant for girls. When I am extremely sad, I wish if I could just cry aloud and scream like a kid. But people say boys aren’t supposed to cry. Girls are very fortunate in this case as they can just cry and flush off their negative emotions. Boys carry this baggage and always suffer from restless nights to poor performance at work place. I feel it’s good to be emotional…

A beautiful fragrance, may be your favorite one, can change the feel of that entire ambience. Music, any person’s presence, or even absence, a bad news in between an occasion, can change that entire joyful ambience to a tragic, dull and worst one!!! Have you ever thought when the places are the same, people are the same, it’s your own emotion that is changing.

From the anger and revenge that you possess for your lover who ditched you, a boss who fired you, a rickshaw Wala who denied you, all those posts that we make on social networking sites about our day to day life, or anything that happens in and around you, the root cause for everything are emotions!!! So how can you…. Or rather why do we want to say and prove that we are not emotional???

Being a customer care executive I was trained on how deal with an irate customer’s emotions and, what all it takes to bring him back, to make them stay with us. One of the most difficult tasks to handle is human emotions and same is the case in case of personal relations as well. All of us are emotional beings and it is just that connectivity, that rhythm which makes us or breaks us.

I am emotional and I am very proud about this fact. Emotions are like a tool or a weapon which should be used very tactfully and very carefully as this can change your relations within seconds. I am not a saint. It’s just that I have recently started realizing its significance and vital role in our life. No matter whether it’s a personal or professional relation that you maintain, emotions play a very crucial role in deciding upon its existence, and also its future.

In case of a relation, it becomes beautiful if you know to play with your spouse’s emotions… your mom’s emotions and vice versa. It is said that a person who is very close to you can communicate with you without any instrument. They will get to know when you think about them. Your mind will send out the vibes to that person’s mind and that is how you get to see the person’s name flashing on your mobile phone the very next moment you think about them, ‘Telepathy’ in simple term. The person who is close to you can make out what’s going on inside your mind even without you having said that. This link, this connectivity is something which cannot be created artificially. This rhythm is what I call as love. Whenever you lose this connectivity, this rhythm is lost and you are hurt. And when you’re hurt, it again will have its repercussions!!! And this is the most ironical part. You need to play with other’s emotions in order to maintain a healthy and stable relation. Also should keep a vigil and focus on your rhythm and connectivity.

I have seen that I can’t write a single sentence when I am normal and everything around me is going well. Creativity comes out either when you’re extremely sad, traumatized and isolated or when you’re extremely happy, ecstatic and thrilled. Some people use their emotions to create music, some write, some post it on facebook wall while others cry, some people dance while some go alcoholic.

It’s like a dynamo. The energy that is created out of these human emotions are very powerful and can be very productive and creative if routed properly or it is the most dangerous weapon for self-destruction.
