when tears get the better of me!!

Tears get the better of me. Each time! They arrive suddenly, without a warning like a sudden flash of rain in the month of April...completely unannounced!! Oh gawd .."NOW!!"..."of all times im getting senti".. "what abt my presentation....!!" "damn this is a meeting !!", "Good Lord im in office... ! " travelling in the bus, i can pretend its dust, you know, and start rubbing my eyes with an inocuous expression on my face...but at home with my parents, amongst friends, among colleagues when there is absolutely no situation or need for tears...why do they suddenly make their presence so devillishly felt!

What triggers it...oh a thousand things... the memory of an old friend, a lost friend, a lost time, an old time,a known smell, a fragrance of yesteryear, a gulli i once visited, the smell of pujas, the colour of the sky, the feeling of security, the warmth of togetherness, the spirited madness of the teenage years...college days, university life, hostel daze, exam nites, niteouts, first day at work, first house,first job... the list is endless

any damn thing causes it!! seek guidance in emotion management right away!

  1. u kno what, i feel they should just roll their way through our cheeks. it's a beautiful feeling, i kno about the time, place and all but i still feel just let them be. that's when the child in u wins over the adult, as long as u have ur tears, u keep winning!

  2. yes...maybe thats a perspective...but i often feel that one's soft corners and weaknesses, troubles and difficulties should not be disclosed...i have often seen people baring their sould being ridiculously laughed at behind their backs...why show my weakness to another...when no one values the worth of tears anymore?

  3. na na, i am not talking about expressing ur weaknesses and all. i just feel at times everyone has the right to let go. for instance, if i am watching a beautiful film with friends, and i get a lump in my throat why should i hold back my tears? if i get a touchy msg from a friend why can't i call back and say how much it meant to me?
    i get ur point about personal problems, but in matteres of the heart (and theres more than just romance there!) it's unfair to keep the feelings inside. when we so good feeling them, imagine what it can be once its shared!
