Silence has many meanings and expressions though it's wordless and causes no sound. What is your definition of silence and what can make you silent at least for a moment?
According to me silence is more powerful than even thousand words and no one till now has found real interpretations of silence. Can you find? :whistle:

Silence - I believe - is a powerful idiom and it all depends on the person who practices it! Silence can be golden in various situations. we have various kinds of it. It can be stupid, wise,expressive and inexpressive! Silence could be an expression of agreement or disagreement! It could be one of indulgence or anger!

What is a foolish or senseless question? :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

Tell the truth.....who ask foolish or senseless questions...you or Anil chettan? :evil: :evil: :evil:
I think, I should ask him to get the answer, not you :P
If you are ignorant but want to conceal this, you will be silent. Silence is the best shield against expression of folly and ignorance. Let me recall an event in life of Sanskrit poet Kalidas. Some scholars planned to marry a very foolish person to the princess. They found Kalidas in a tree cutting wood from the very branch he was sitting in. They could not find a greater fool. They told Kalidas that he could marry the princess by winning her in Shastrarth provided that he spoke nothing and just gestured. The scholars could interpret the gestures. Kalidas was married to princess as planned.

I remember this story now, Sir. I can remember the whole story now, how he become the great kavi 'Kalidas'.
About the second part of the question....
When some one hurts me, I may not get words to express......as it's told
"Jab dil doodtha kai, tab aawaaz nahi aathi...
Lekin qayamat aa jaathi hai"
I become so upset that I may remain silent. But after some time, I will get correct answers to the questions. But, my time and opportunity would have already gone :)
"You break silence when you need to communicate. Also there is limit to capacity to speak. words are precious. Hence, we should remain silent and speak only when necessary to communicate. where you need to express your thoughts or make or respond, you must speak. Speech has purpose. silence none. When speech is purposeless, you are silent. "
I can't agree sir....
Silence often can be a purpose....sometimes keeping silent is the best way to say, what we carry in our mind at that time....i.e.Words are often not at all necessary. Silence can express it all :)
Yeah, I agree with Sandya. Sometimes silence express the emotions than a thousand words. Words can only communicate thoughts, but silence can also communicate feelings and emotions.

I think the quote is: Jab dil toota hai tab awaaz nahin hoti lekin quyamat aa jaati hai. (When heart breaks, there is no sound but doom sets in)

Of course sir, I quote it from 'Raja Hindusthani' :cheer:
"You break silence when you need to communicate. Also there is limit to capacity to speak. words are precious. Hence, we should remain silent and speak only when necessary to communicate. where you need to express your thoughts or make or respond, you must speak. Speech has purpose. silence none.

When we do a huge mistake or any bad thing happen in our life also make us silent
You have quoted a nice thing yaar. Of course. If we have done a mistake, we can't get words. But this is not appilcable to criminals and thieves......they will talk more when they do, something wrong, to prove themselves right :silly: :blink: :sick:
