Closure

By Sanchari Dasgupta

There cannot be a full stop after every sentence, my familiarity of the English language asks me for closure but I haven't had closure for the past few years, the only full stop in my life was the bindi that I put in between my two eyebrows when I travelled 150 kms towards closure, and yet all I got was a comma, a semicolon and Darjeeling tea that had way too much sugar in it, but I told myself that closure does not necessarily mean a full stop and a full stop does not necessarily mean closure, like you can fall asleep after days of working and that is closure but not full stop and you can die without completing tasks you had sought to finish ; I watched people around me crib about a full stop when all they needed was closure and I understand that the two are similar yet vastly contradictory, I saw the closure I needed from the comfort of my home and yet I travelled miles to acquire it only to not acquire it, so I decided to open my bindi and keep it beside me, I had read in school about how you can end a sentence according to your requirement and that some closures do come with a full stop.
