“Until the lion learns to write, every story will always glorify the hunter.”
Why is it so difficult for us to just try and see the other side of the coin? Why do we always have to glorify the one that need not be glorified? Why do we not notice the so obvious? Why indeed do we not listen to the silence?
A bilingual writer, Moushmi Radhanpara has authored three poetry collections so far, namely POSIES and 03:21 AM –An Ode to Rust & Restlessness, and Resignation of an Angel. She is also scribbling an unplanned rough draft of a story as a part of NANOWRIMO 2020 and hopes that something might come out of it. She has also co-authored two books, The Lockdown Stories and Mirage so far. Her poetries can be found on her blog https://aestheticmiradh.com/ and a few other online portals. She believes in the fact that a better reader makes a better writer. Reading a 100 books a year is her latest obsession. She can be found either drunk on coffee or hiding away from everything and admiring the gorgeous sun.

Its the world’s rule. We hear stuffs that makes noise.
Silence is unnerving to us. Ever been in a conversation with someone and there is a long pause in the conversation? But we should listen to silence for sometimes it says more than any words can ever say.
Beautiful and thought-provoking proverb. Makes you realize how you need to consider every part of the story before rushing to a judgement. Keep up the good work.

I always think about this….we go by what we see…without trying to listen to the other side of the story. The truth is always hard to find but we dont even try or make efforts to find it. Just believe in what we see and hear. A loud lie is always overshadowed by a timid truth. And sometimes even if we want to hear the other side then society and people will not allow the other side to say anything and to us it will either view with suspicion or try to stop us.
