Crossword

Crossword, a word puzzle that we all love. It’s one of our favorite fun play pass times. Totally keeps us intrigued and glued till the time we crack it. I remember, back then in college life we (friends) used to sit in the evenings for chit chat and solve crosswords. So much fun it was!

Whenever I look at crosswords I have a feeling how similar it is to our lives. Life is a form of a grid with right words that fit in. Words have enormous significance in our daily lives that we cannot deny a bit. It has white and black squares. White symbolizes all the right, wisely, apt and correct words spoken whereas black symbolizes the dark patches, words that false play, hurt and agonize.

In white columns also there is segregation. The white cell that is part of only one entry is called ‘unchecked’. Why unchecked? As it doesn't have an audience to register and note what is being said when. In our thoughts whatever we think is only known by us, so it’s unchecked, far away from cynicism. Multiple thoughts run in our mind daily. The white cell that is part of both the entries i.e. across and down is called ‘checked’. Yes, checked it is as what we speak is observed and felt by people around, whom we love and adore.

Words, what we speak, what we write, what we hear and read form an essential part of being. I strongly believe words have a life of their own! Words have power to integrate and devastate, stimulate and appreciate, congregate and predominate.

Words can make or break you. Be passionate and let your heart speak.
