KEEP SILENCE
The most loudly audible, inanimate object that exists on the face of this earth, is, the small red coloured “Keep Silence” board that is very firmly fixed on each and every wall of your school or college library. This very small non-living board makes you feel that in every nook and cranny of the library there is somebody who is listening to your most discreet talks.
The basic trait of this board is that it never lets you think in the most independent manner. Thereby, defeating the basic motive of the library that is to provide you with a space where you can churn your thoughts with those written in black and white.
The reason given for its use is to maintain the silence that is provided to read and think. The board not only makes the lips closed but on a higher degree tries to keep the mind checked and stopped from thinking.
The library that I have in my dreams will have a very different board, saying
“Keep Thinking, But don’t Speak”, till then enjoy the small red notice on your library walls, that is for sure limiting much more than your tongues.
But I hope that after reading this you will at least feel freer even while sitting below that small red notice that speaks very, loud.
