Its only words.. plain words.. a combinations of sounds intended to define and communicate a meaning.. a vast list and adding, words form the basis of one of the prominent forms of communication.. verbal or oral communication. Enormous they are but not exhaustive.. words are limited.. they dont replicate our thoughts, imaginations and feelings.. the wild, infinite, enigmatic imaginations and feelings cannot be expressed with near infinite but finite chunk of words.. its as good as channeling the vastness of ocean through a drain pipe.

Its not words alone thats responsible for the injustice, we have certain rules and regulations that govern these words and some of them that govern us too.. when you like a person or hate for that matter, you know pretty well why you like her/him (her only.. him im not bothered!!), you feel that. Feelings dont have any conventions or restrictions, they dont follow any rules and regulations.. they are wild and free like a beautiful giant tree in the jungle.. but once they are put in words, the past, background, society, ethics, grammar, fear, prejudice interfere like axes and saws with various degrees of precision and chop down the beautiful feelings tree carving out a thin slice of wood. Yes you have said it all, but you know its not all.. not even close..

A select few literary genius have got the closest possible to bridge the gap between words and thoughts yet the gap is wide.. sometimes non-verbal form of communication serve better than words.. a genuine smile, blushing cheeks, tears welled in the eyes, pursing lips, silence they all hit the bullseye.

Its only words..

'So you are a lefty??'
'Ya!'
'Hmmm.. You know something, lefty's are very creative!!'
The odd expression and statement I always get when I do something with my left hand..
This world is split in a way where a significant number of beings brush their teeth using the right hand, a fair number of odd ones use the left, then there are some who can use either of the hands to clean and of course the great ones who just dont bother doing it..

The ambidextrous are proficient at getting things done with either of the hands. They can eat, write, play, punch, paint equally with both the hands. Then there are some poor souls who manage to get most of the things done with both the hands combined. One of them being yours lovingly. He eats with right hand but uses spoon with the left (sometimes both the hands are at work when it comes to breaking the canteen served rotis), bats right hand (speaking only about the position. we dont see much activity when yours lovingly is at the crease slapping the wind with the wood. He is always regarded as a hot favorite and most preferred batsman of the opposition!!) and bowls express fast with the left. He writes (scribble you see.. I was a nightmare for my kindergarten teacher!!) with his right hand and definitely paints with this left hand. The lefty's hyper creativity is at work when he starts brushing the strokes with his sinister arm, the end result always being an amusing work of art that belongs to the future (aquarian style.!) whatever that means... he can punch with both the hands (the sum of two forces can only be noted.. ) after watching rocky he even considered kick boxing as a career move and threw some punches onto a punch bag (a cement bag filled with sand thanks to my dad!!), it was then and certainly one of the rare moments when he had a crystal clear thought and made a rationale decision that he is not born to be a kick boxing champ.

Added to the woes, he also had trouble with the directions. The many times he screamed pillion riding on his friend's bike 'turn left' 'turn left' and he is turning right, only to realize that his left was the right right and whatever little he is left with is not even right.. To overcome this he devised a simple scheme where he imitates his bowling action in his mind and decides the directions, left is his bowling arm and what is not left has to be right. (There is a delay though as he's a fast bowler with a long run up!!) This has served him well till date but on occasions when he cant imitate (I somehow cant picture myself running and bowling when im sitting.!) he gestures it often saving the occasional blunder of blurting it out..

Yours lovingly has always been a troubled soul...!!
