Silent

Ready to go out

Tie my shoes and take my car keys

I shout “L, I am going out”

You smile and say “Drive Safely”

Now I make the same shout

No response, you are silent

What language is your silence?

Our car comes out of garage

Garage door closes via the remote

I shout “L, saathyaach saathyaach”*

You smile and say “I heard you”.

Now I make the same shout

No response, you are silent

What language is your silence?

I come home excited

Put my feet on the coffee table

I shout “L, you know what happened today”

You drop everything and say “Give me a 3 beer version”**

Now I make the same shout

No response, you are silent

What language is your silence?

PS:

*”Saathyaach” means “closed” in Tamil.

**”3 beer version” means “very detailed description”.
