What do ‘you’ people call it?”
She asked, in a mocking tone.
And laughed loudly on the disinterested response
She added, “It is said this way and not that way”.
I smiled and then thought-
“Shudh”, Perfect grammatical form
Correcting everyone’s sentences
Sticking on to a majority dominated codified version
Her version, she is somehow associated
Not born in it, but taught, repeatedly trained all through her childhood in the name of schooling
How can someone standardize the heartfelt expressions?
How can someone force fit emotions into a fixed template?
Few people are so frequently oral chastising, making me wonder if they having an OCD.
The purpose of language is to connect
Pick instant appropriate words from the database of the mind and express
Language is now utilized to only serve fancy fallacies
It is now degraded to a mere instrument that confirms how ‘we’ are different from ‘you’
Not any more a simple tool to exchange ideas but a confirmation of supremacy
Judge the dialect one uses as a symbol of the class they belong to
Blinded by style, words, pronunciation and grammar, We are forgetting to connect
What if one does not see language as the majority see?
What if one sees language as it has to be seen?
As a device to express basic ideas in a simple manner
Ripped off all the complications and grandiose
Codification of phraseology is the output of a tribe being stuck to a place
Who are afraid of adventure
Who are insecure to move out and explore
Who have made boundaries and are frozen
What if there is a voyager
Who chose to give away security and familiarity
Who is in a state of forming from each encounter in the journey
Who rejects the effortless way of confirmation and also rejects aimlessly accepting only what is fed
Belonging to the immediate surroundings is the easiest thing that one can do.
It gives a lot of comfort.
But what if one wants to pursue the true identity and not confirm?
Has she ever wondered
What if this codified version of script, her standardized obsession that she adamently imposes on to others, was also the precursor of non-conformance?
