Speak what you write!
Sakshi recently told me that I’m more romantic/caring on text than in normal life. While I’ve always been aware that I do ‘write’ a little better than I ‘speak’, her statement was a revelation that is probably true as well. Words manifest your emotion – when said better they express the emotion better. When expressed better, they are ‘felt’ better too.
Taking the hypothesis further, a person is judged by the way she expresses – and of course there is no rocket science in this. However what I find an interesting area of study is, that if there is a variance in the way you speak and the way you write (which is the case more often than not) how do you judge a person? That introspection is for some other day, for now back to this variance.
Has it got something to do with the thought-word ratio? When you’re speaking – you either speak after you think, or the other way round. Better speakers have a more moderated thought-word ratio. Mostly, the thought-word ratio is difficult to control at a conscious level (operates at the sub-conscious level). Writing probably gives you the leeway of moderating the thought-word ratio at your own convenience while speaking does not. Maybe!
