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.....

This remembers me about my blog..
you were one of the few blogger's who used to leave a comment n inspire me in writing the blog.Thnkz 4 dat dude.
He he..That's a great title.So if we want ours to be heard,we willingly or unwillingly(doesn't matter wat it is)should listen to others.Isn't it a great idea??
Oh I am so much with you on this , people like me who dont seem to have any talent .. yes all need ot take heart that we exist too :)
so true what u said .. THANK YOU ...
Bikram's
I don't think such a thing will happen, ever..each one of us is so different and differently capable, and that's what brings colors and variety in life..
Like your post, can make people think like you do.
Lovely post, enlisting the importance of couch potatoes! Thank You! :p

Glad you made it this far...would love to hear your take on the words scribbled. A comment every now and then keeps the blues away. :D
Since, crazy Mr. Blogspot won't let me reply to the comments here (is upset with the water ladies ever since they refused to verify visitors)...will do the next best thing, drop in to your blog to say my Vanakkam/Namaste/Salaam/Hello.
