Communicate.....speak up.....!!

Currently, there is this wonderful Airtel commercial which is being shown on almost every channel of our television sets.

Indeed, hats off to the creative head of this commercial who has come out with such a brilliant concept of highlighting the importance of communication.

The commercial simply shows two kids in a desert region talking in some really different ( though it's Moroccan French) language. This is it and there is no added extravaganza to it. It's simple, very ordinary, but very very powerful.

Perhaps this strange communication between the kids is the only thing which is conveying the true message of the commercial.

Whatever may be the language, it never acts as a barrier,only when two people decide to talk.

So, what is important is the willingness to talk, to speak up, to express oneself in whichever way it is possible.

Very often, people don't find the proper ways of expressing themselves. Either they don't have the words to express their views or simply they lack the confidence to bring it out. Some are also shy by nature which unable them to convey their viewpoints to the world.

As a result, they don't communicate and prefer keeping quiet.

However, it is observed that a majority of the misunderstandings in this world are created due to communication gap and silence.

Almost 90% of the new ideas and thoughts of people may also be going unshared just because of people's inability or unwillingness to express themselves or communicate.

Silence and lack of expression perhaps also becomes one of the main causes of loneliness and depression.

So what is the purpose of such a silence which is harmful to both : the individual himself and the world around him.....!!

It cannot be denied that,sometimes, Silence speaks louder than Words.....

But when language becomes a barrier to communication, perhaps it cannot be justified.

As the commercial ends saying :

"No barriers can keep us apart as long as we wish to talk...!"
