Momentary Silence

It’s a foregone conclusion that daring to keep a woman quiet for a long time is literally a mission impossible. Why consider long time, sometimes, some women end up chatting even while offering two minutes silence to the dead ( Not that men don’t but considering women folk here). Yeah, being one and around so many women, I can reveal, not that many do not know, rather reiterate the fact that there is a technique to achieve momentary silence from a woman’s side. Although, no certainty about their response for the moments to follow. Some might walk away (the least intensive one!), some might fume and the worst of all, exhibit their gadgets, symbols of self-defence, if I may say so.
If no one gives a damn to the repercussions or has let’s-see-when-it-happens-attitude, then here is the revelation of the technique to achieve momentary silence from women (Did someone say Women and silence form a wonderful paradox? Well…..), just ask her age… as simple (not really simple, though) as that!! There you witness, MOMENTARY SILENCE!!
It still remains a mystery to me as to why women find it difficult or embarrassing to face queries related to their age. Is there an anti-ageing living-being on earth?
I happen to recollect an incident in the bus when a conductor asked a college-girl, her age. I guess, I don’t have to explain the scene that followed after the momentary silence, right? He did so for it was mandatory to enter the passenger’s age in the bus-pass offered. Poor soul, Conductor! As a result of such redundant incidents, women have the privilege of bypassing the mandatory rule of getting their age entered in the bus-passes.
With my birthday being today, a reminder to indicate that I being one of women-folk, age too, I am also going to face questions if I am 81-born, 82-born or 83-born? (Smart ways of asking age, right?). Actually, I don’t mind telling my age. Isn’t a fact a fact? Here I confidently quote my age, add one to the age I quoted till yesterday. Didn’t I tell that I don’t mind revealing my age? (Did someone say that last year too, I said “Add one to the age I quoted till yesterday?”....well, a proud woman that I am!! )

P.S:

Some of the quotes that justify the fact ,with most of them being hilarious , I put here.
Time and tide wait for no man, but time always stands still for a woman of thirty – Anon
Few Women admit their age. Few Men act theirs! –Anon
A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age –Robert Frost.
One should never trust a woman who tells her real age. A woman who tells one that would tell anything-Oscar Wilde.

Be all of them whatever, at the end of the day, the ones that inspire every soul are
May you live all the days of your life – Jonathan Swift.
