A Thought on Tears of Seperation


I was traversing back to my alma-mater from my home after the festival of Holi.I reached the allotted seat by the railways and was left fazed.A girl was weeping and grizzling,her tears plummeting faster than her own hands which were trying to camouflage the pearls.Her demeanour irked me.She was accompanied by her family and a boy.I was not able to distinguish them into passengers and goodbye-bidders,but I was sure about this girl.She was being separated.The clock then tickled the departure time and the train indicated its readiness to leave.My father bid me goodbye and I touched his feet.We both remained calm and compose during the parting process.But the case was different with the girl.She was making a pool out of her tears in the train,with her family doing the same on the platform.The Boy,on whom i was dicing to be her hubby,was calm though and was trying to mollify her.The train speeded and the platform shooted out of sight.

Juxtaposing the two way of parting,I tried to infer which way was better.The answer will be evident shortly.Well,Life is a progress.Progress needs actions and the actions need not be in the same circle in which you are accustomed to.A beautiful saying reverberates into my mind.
A ship in harbour is safe,but that is not what ships are built for.

When a tear arrives in the brows,it speaks of how sad and melancholy you are.Gloominess is a contagious phenomenon and it makes the other side unhappy too.While parting,tears act as a negative catalyst in the process of progress and development.During the King’s rule in India,It was heinous on the part of queen to show her grief to the departing king for war for it may make him pusillanimous.Think how queen might be feeling at that time as she didn’t even knew whether the king will return or shall lie in the graves of the history.Today,there is no question of life and death embraced.So why do people cry at the departure?Do they don’t want to go ahead in life?Do they wish to remain static and rust themselves?
Some mothers believe that their child is too naive to meet the outer world alone and fear that he will not be able to bear the barbaric world.Madam,until and unless you don’t unmoor the child’s feet from your rope of extra-concern and allow him to meet the world,he will definately be not able to stand before atrocious world.I am not against emotions and I do believe that emotions are part and parcel of life,but it is not harmful to bridle your emotions sometimes.
Thus it is tacit that tears of separation do no good and I am against these very echelons of tears.Life is a flow and it is bound to leave one shore and reach another.A Dam of overcare and the river will die.Dont let your tears provide viscosity to the life of your near and dear ones.Bid them a vivacious goodbye and see them reaching the pinnacles shortly after that....
