I did not intend to write this post, but I've been propmpted to think, and think seriously about something by Ekanta, who, before anything, deserves a few apologies from me and some others for being ignored as spam, because of the same vague comment left on several blogs at the same time. I'm saying this again Ekanta,we're sorry for our carelessness.
Anyway, this was the question Ekanta left, and it's certainly deep enough to be thought of and discussed upon.
If you like rooms that echo, is it that you like hearing your own voice and sounds being enhanced and elaborated upon? Is it that you are curious to hear what you sound like to the rest of the world and to have your sentiments communicated. Do you seek or feel some sort of response in the sound that continues and repeats itself? Is there something profound to be recovered/retained/remembered collectively?
The quetions essentially, in extremely articulate language and brilliant expression, intend to question, from where I see it, the psychology behind the 'need for expression'. Simply put, they could mean to a lot of us as why we communicate, or even more contemporarily, why do we blog? Everyone has their own reasons, needs and explanations, infact there needn't be any at all, and that's a good enough answer in itself.
The second question posed above is extremely thought-provoking...isn't it true that we want our opinions to be voiced, the hidden and hideous to be visible sometimes, and we wanna see how our thoughts look when given a form and structure, and most crucially, how do others respond to that very integral part of us that we've put under public purview?
Echoes in particular are mysterious things. Everyone loves them for their own reason, but not everyone an single that reason out. To me echoes appear as something big and important that comes to me and only me. It makes me feel important, though smaller at the same time. I don't know if I sound like making any sense here, but then, on some issues, none of us can make sense, isn't it?
There is a depth lying beneath everything that needs to be acknowledged and discovered. Everything.

good thinking...
i like to add to wat u said. the room that echo is generally and empty room (in most cases a large room). we like large rooms. and normal rooms don't echo... and the thing which are not normal always attract us..
To me echoes are like sound mirrors which reflect. We love to hear them because we don't get many chances.
Funda funda aur thoda funda,ab yaar why should anybody care what others feel about them.Apna masti mein jine ka load nahi lene ka,aur goodwill se physics ka funda leke pass hone ka,peace
It's not so much about letting others know what one's opinions are,but the very fact that there are voices within you that belong to you only.It is this uniqueness of an echo,that i believe,draws everyone to it.
