I felt the need to pen down my thoughts about yesterday's episode.. It was so beautiful.
Though I did write on Dyotona's and Red's post and yet being unable to contain myself.. just penning down randomly few things that came to my mind.
I know its a long post.. please bear with me😛
Tabula Rasa (a term coined by John Locke, the 17th century philosopher describing mind as a tabula rasa)
A blank sheet of paper
You can write on it
Anything
Any and many
Impressions can be inscribed on it
It might be messy, complicated
Filled Completely or yet to be filled
Likewise a Journey
Called Life
Love...
Never completely understood
Never to be completely empty
Impressions, sensations, emotions, and feelings...
Yet
Why did I call it merely Friendship?
Why not Love?
This is how I had written
Had read
Had inscribed
On that Tabula Rasa
Called heart
For the past ten years...
Tabula Rasa
Is there ever a blank space
Beginning of space or the end of space
Blank time or the beginning of time...
To call it only Love
Is forgetting.
Where it all began
Not to secure or fix
The origin
Not to end
And to declare it as a finality.
But
Friendship
Is narrative
You can begin from
Anywhere
No need to follow the classical rules of beginning, middle and end
You create your own rules
You flout rules, norms, and conventions
You do not excavate
The story already made
(after all we are not archaeologists)
But
Friendship
Is
To traverse
To rewind
To replicate
Not to negate
Not to erase.
Mujhse Dosti Karoge?
This is a journey
Where I found you
Where we shared
We loved
We fought
We struggled
Not to reach somewhere
Not to end the journey.
But
To travel
Together
In the company of each other
To write several
Narratives
All adding, supplementing, complementing...
To understand
The narrative of Friendship
Where you don't need a kiss to seal it
But
Sharing an ordinary mango
Would lead to another
Chapter
Another page
That the narrative of
Friendship
Is merely another name
For Love...
