Apples and Oranges

It's fascinating to meet different people, in the same City, who think differently. It shows sometimes that you aren't a recluse. It shows that people can have independent thoughts, have different prerogatives, and ideologies, living out of the same length and breadth of the City. The same chayer dokan, the same solving of socio-economic problems from around the globe in the chayer dokan, the same people solving it, the same pulse of the laid-back, procrastinating City driving the people, and the same chayer dokan giving back its signature pulse to the City.
Yet, I find people having the same difference. You feel you are'nt alone anymore. People have made decisions, or taken it through compulsions, as you have. You can finally find people who reads a para twice in a novella just to visualize the scene, who thinks that cheap Vodka is a slow killer, yet tastes great with Appy on the rocks, people who act like a Walt Disney animation film on Sundays, 'coz they know its going to be Monday sooner than you know it, who thinks Mithunda isn't just an actor, but a walking, talking, Shaolin Temple who can wipe off the scum of earth by his power packed dialogues, more than his punches, and people who think infidelity is as guilt-free an emotion as wanting to fall back in love,again.
...


Although, I am yet to find someone who feels sniggering isn't always meant to hurt :)

The real trouble, is to find the ordinary.

Well said. I concur; perhaps the most interesting aspect about the extraordinary variations visible in the human race is the common string joining that defines them.

By trying to show that he is different from others, all he ends up doing is prove that he is the same as everyone after all.

By the way, is that line on infidelity and love a subtle reaction to Kapurush?

@D: Even the ordinary is exceptional in his own way...
@Shubho:Kapurush is just a reflection on celluloid of human emotions felt by normal people;people like you and me...Yes, in that way, there might be an influence.
