If everyone speaks at the same time, who will listen to what's being said??
By extension if all of us had the same level of intelligence, talent, skills sets or even plain hobbies, what then??
If all were expert painters, who will appreciates the fine nuances and the brush strokes....
If all were talented singers or musicians, who would be there to close their eyes, tap their feet, drum fingers along with the beats and get divinely involved in the song and melody....
If each of us sat to write books, who will read them and let our pen strokes stoke their imagination and take them to new worlds....
If each one were expert chefs and bakers, who would sample the tasty morsels, loosen their belts and sigh in gastronomic delights....
If everyone was an inventor, who would laugh at first and then one by one use our creations and praise our ingenuity....
And so on....if all of us were well accomplished, masters of all the sciences and arts, who would be left to listen, question, appreciate, approve, enjoy, praise, utilise......
It is the ordinary one with limited talent, often few skills, average intelligence who sits back and watches the various masters at work..
Even a Guru is incomplete without disciples to preach....
Take heart those among us who can't create , spin words, wield a brush or a ladle.....it is You, the audience that makes the accomplishments worthwhile.....
For, every performer needs not empty seats but at least one pair of hands that clap.....

The Trip
 |
| Haji Ali Promenade, Mumbai |
She lingered at
old haunts,
some unchanged,
some long gone
flashes of days gone by
all hues, all shades
the week gone
in a daze
she sees them still
sad, smiling faces
a friendly hug
a kiss on the forehead
back to the new land
of self imposed exile
to the life
unknown, unheard
looking at
the open suitcase
wondering aloud
can one pack
twenty seven long years
into this??

The Valentine - Drabble Dare # 12
The Right Mistake
She closed her eyes and sighed, lost in her reverie.
The shadow crept silently, stealthily forward.
Took her gently in its arms and kissed her
slowly but with hidden passion.
After what seemed like eternity she opened her eyes....
her smile frozen in place .
She pulled away hastily and exclaimed
"Pray tell the meaning of this, Ferdinand?"
"The Baron's wishes, my command...whatever it takes
to bring a rosy tint on my fair lady's face..."
Not her idea of prince charming and yet...
The note fluttered to the ground.
'Hold on my love, till we meet again - your valentine',
already forgotten as he bent down for one last kiss.
