Over the edge

I have all the intention to write, like I have all the intention to be enjoyable during conversations. But I am still again finding it very hard to open my mouth and make the words come out. They just won’t come out smooth and in conjunction with my brain; they come out like chunks as if from a crushed-ice dispenser; I stumble on them as they gather behind my lower lip.

 

I guess it’s due to the fact that I am experiencing so many things at once .. it just leaves me speechless over the edge .

 

I have been trying to convey my congratulation to a friend from far far away who just got married; after much deliberation I elected these words:

 

Congratulations on the termination of your isolation and may I express an appreciation of your determination to end the desperation and frustration which has caused you so much consternation in giving you the inspiration to make a combination to bring an accumulation to the population.

 

 

Thus a marriage is not a word .. it is a sentence .. a life sentence.

Soon after, a very very dear friend called. The conversation went like this:

 

AJ : You are alright with the date we fixed?

Me: Of course! I will drop anything and everything for you Aalya Jan. As long as your parents and you are comfortable don’t worry about me .. you’re the one who is getting married.

AJ: Yes .. but I can’t and won’t do this without you ..

 

….

 

Now .. you get my point? 

 

How could those last words she uttered not have rendered me speechless over the edge??

 

   

 

 

Note: It took me more than a week to compose this post.
