An Unexpected One Liner.

“Aandhere me jo bhi dikhe, us se darr hi lagta hai.”

My friend said this to me yesterday. The literal translation of which is, “Anything that you see in the dark, is most certainly going to scare you.”

And somehow I find that that this friend is always right and meeting him for this occasional coffee proves more than just a cup of coffee. This is not the first time he has struck a one liner and stumped me. He does this time and again, sometimes only trying to be funny, and the other times, trying to compose my edgy nerves. And almost every time he succeeds in his intentions.

After he said this to me, I kept mulling over it, and I could only decipher its truth even more, after every passing second.

Isn’t he right? I mean sometimes does not the smallest of things bother you only because there is something else crucial going around? Doesn’t sometimes some incidents leave a mark on you more than they should, only because they came after a chain of unwanted events, shaking you? Do you not sometimes, feel scared only because something else is scaring you? Do you not feel scared in the darkness only because there is something uncertain? Do you not feel scared because there is nothing to see in that darkness? Do you not be scared only because you might be scared of the darkness? Are you not scared of being scared itself?

PS: I don’t know how much I make sense today to any one of you..

  3. Yup relatable …. sometimes the outbursts are because of stress being piled up……..and darkness within the heart makes the whole world look dark……..igniting a candle within helps in clearing the vision

  9. i dont think meeting you in the dark would scare me. 😉
    we play on our inherit fear of the night since 1. we dont see well at night and 2. all the things we have heard or read etc. about the night and how they stay rooted in our minds. yes, im much to practical and can rationalize it all, but it doesnt seem to always help when im in the darkness. lol
    good write.

  17. Interesting read, Moushmi and it is all in the Mind. Of course one surely gets scared of dark but if there is no darkness how will there be light. It goes hand in hand, then why do we not get scared of light just because everything is light. Great post.
