O - Outlook

She:
I hope you don’t mind me putting few snippets of our conversations on my blog
He:
I find it really amusing
She:
Amusing?
He:
Yeah. I mean how you have sometimes made entire posts out of a single line of what I would have said and that too, may be in some random context
She:
First, I know you don’t say anything in random context. You are too intellectually and psychologically aware of yourself to say anything remotely random. And second. That wasn’t my question. I asked do you mind me putting them up?
He:
Nope. I don’t mind. But can I ask you the reason behind putting them up?
She:
You sure can
He:
So why do you put them up?
She:
Do you always read my posts?
He:
A question in return of a question. Great !!
She:
Your answer is hidden in my question. So tell me, do you read all my posts?
He:
Of course I do. I follow your posts. And who wouldn’t do that knowing that I feature in some of them?
She:
You sure, you read the entire posts?
He:
Yep. Sure. Now where is my answer in this?
She:
The answer is that you don’t read the entire posts. You don’t read the comments readers leave on these conversations
He:
And why would I do that?
She:
Because sometimes the readers have left comments that have provided me a completely different outlook about the conversations we've had and about the kind of relationship we share. Sometimes they have seen in these conversations what I haven’t been able to see. And that is what I seek, not just as a writer but also as a person in these conversations.

  2. I liked the perspective you shared! It's true that from our comments sometimes we get a new direction, a new idea which we had overlooked or missed all this while! Good one J :)
