I am running away from reality, as fast as i could.
and trying not to look back, so as to prevent my eye from tearing.
Dissecting a heart break
Sunday, September 21, 2008
"The cold feeling started from base of spine and twirled around rib cage to clutch the heart in a steely grip of your hurtful words..." I wrote this line on a whim while watching a movie when two protagonists have an argument. I liked these words and put them as status message on my GTALK. In few minutes I had a friend buzzing me saying that this line has grammatical errors. He wasn't sure where or what was wrong with the statement, but it just didn't "sound" correct. After talking to him, even I started getting this feeling that maybe the sentence is incorrect. Sometimes I think I sport this arrogant attitude of "I know better". So today, I decided to check if I had made a mistake. I checked this statement in three different online grammar checking tools and two of them told me that there are no errors and the third one said - 'Incorrect combination of nouns and tenses'. :-) Now, I am assuming that the line is correct. :-) Here is a thought. If we were to dissect every tiny feeling, emotion and our body reaction at cellular level when we get hurt by words, we would perhaps die a little death literally every time there is a heart break. Or just go mad. Or both. Whatever.
