Here's to Eye Calling



"In eye calling two souls exchange feelings at the speed of light. There is craving, there is urge, thirst and insatiable appetite.."


This English is so deficient in words. Whenever I try to explain something in a single word, I can’t find one. And I believe there isn’t any. Or maybe it’s tough—rote learning everything that is English. Or a ‘big’ maybe might be it’s not our language. Yes, the ultimate point of alienation we feel when we only learn it as a second language is exactly here. But wait, I am doing justice to us. And here is how.



In a jammed public shuttle commuting from point A to point B, I inadvertently caught a sight of a beauty. Human beauty. Okay, okay, I know, you want me to be more specific: add feminine in the beginning. Here is the clear picture of the situation: I was almost at the back of the vehicle, standing; she on the front. When she looked straight meward (well, towards me standing at the rear), she saw me at the very moment as I did the same. All palaver as someone would say. In the overcrowded bus, how could a person standing at the front could see a man all the way back? Well, the answer is I was only tall. Here I use ‘only’ because I was not handsome. Bring some more adjectives in the line of lean, tall, thin, lanky or svelte (which is more satisfying!), I would not disagree for what I am. 

Well I was tall, and so was she; which is why it was inevitable for us to not have crossed our eyes. On top, this does not mean that all occupants standing along the hallway were midgets. I let you to exercise your freedom to have a positive understanding of a situation. She looked at me; I looked at her, all in a happenstance and all in the same moment in time. A perfect visual unison, but that one who is sober enough would say it a casual eye contact. It was not, however. I was surrounded by a circle of feelings and I could not find a single word to describe it. 

Here is where I feel compelled to bring a new term to English: Eye Calling. It is spontaneous calling of an eye to other eye that seems to be predestined to be connected. It’s a way of communicating between souls.

Calling is a profession, eye calling is a phenomenon—a phenomenon in which eyes meet across the space exchanging not only visual impressions but way more. Just like a Bluetooth or an Infrared transfer data to other device without being physically connected, eye calling transfers feelings from one to other and vice versa during that moment when eyes are transfixed to each other. The invisible line of sight is straightly connected pupil to pupil. In phone calling data are transferred from one end to the other via vocal packets, whereas in eye calling two souls exchange feelings at the speed of light. There is craving, there is urge, thirst and insatiable appetite to come closer, talk and be forever in the same space-time curve.

So, with these very essences, eye calling is here to stay, if not in a renowned lexicon. Now I feel I have done justice to me, to us and to wanting English word-list by introducing this new term.
