Comedy or Tragedy ?

Shakespearean tragedy is famous than comedy. Here comedy means happy ending stories and generally happy subjects. Now, u know what is tragedy. I learnt the reason behind this as a literature student. I was 17 and in the prime of my youth and I rebelled to agree. I loved Romance and comedy. My mind refused to believe people like tragedy more.

Years later, almost 20 years later I got an opportunity to read a poem collection of a gal who was 17. I saw pages of sadness and hurt. she was generally a happy-go-luck-kind of a gal outside . So, I asked her why she only wrote about the sad part of her growing up and events . That made both of us think. She said she found comfort in writing when ever she was stressed or worried or depressed. But when she was happy she didn’t bother to put her feelings to paper . I even remember advising her to try and capture her happy moments consciously .

The ten months of suffering that I elaborated in my last blog, Now looks like a nightmare I had in my previous birth. And did I promise to also write about more suffering that followed?? (Wish I could use emojis here to express how I feel about it). That’s over and will not be discussed any further. So if u are a serious fan of tragedy , stop reading here. I don’t know what I will write further but no

tragedies.

So how did the gal in me , who loved *romantic comedy than tragedy ,end up writing tragedy?? I cannot accept the the fact that may be I am getting old. No ,that is not the reason. Was it because I was depressed at that time ?? May be ,but not sure. Then what?? Didn’t I ask the same question to a 17 year old gal?? Now I am asking it to myself and trying to find an answer. Let me put my limitless random thoughts to writing and let’s see if we find the reason together.

When ever I feel happy , I feel like going to the terrace ,to feel the wind on my hair , the limitless sky above and shout out to the world that I am happy. There is no way I will carry something to write my thoughts. I like being with people when I am happy and joy shared is doubled. My excitement is mostly shown in my smiles. No paper required again.

But when things are not so nice ,paper and pen does bring comfort. A week back I was so much-over flowing with happiness ,I wished I had a place to store the excess joy ,so that it can be used in the future if needed. But I never for a moment thought I can store it in my words ( Thank goodness, Now I have invented my own piggy bank for happiness ). Is this how romantic comedy was born. I am not sure , but I will hold on to this idea of saving my happiness in words. All kinds of art is a medium of expression. Wish we all find our art and hold on to it to express ,so the world becomes more colourful and u have a piggy bank of happiness too😊
