Do you remember the TVC of Satyamev Jayate wherein Aamir Khan would be judging who'd and how many would watch his show by pointing out to the people who stop or not stop at an empty junction when the traffic signal turns red somewhere past midnight? It is about following the rules humans have imposed upon themselves, regardless of whether you're under the vigilant eye of a power or not.
1. As a newborn baby, we are all random. No rules for the infant. Soon, in our childhoods, we learn the rules as they're taught, and abide by to perfection. Gradually, we follow our parents and idols as we grow into adolescents. Later on, we take inspiration from the world around in our attempt to learn from the entire world. And as we mature into the youth, we freeze into the last viewpoint we hold and enter into the backfire mode in case we are challenged. It is important to teach the best lessons, by practice more than by word.
2. You're in the rat race of running from A to B alongside many others travelling between many other places, running other races, thinking at different paces, all those different faces. While it is humane to compete and let your ego come between, remember that the bus driver is safer while jumping the signal than a 70 year old on his little Luna. It's more important to reach B to know whether you won or lost, assuming that the ambulances don't go to B.
3. It's not a crime to wait for the green, to be overtaken by a bus and a Luna. And it'll be fun to watch the world run the rat race, being a mere spectator. Try standing at the entrance gate to the main metro station/railway station and observe the people. You'll know why Shakespeare called this entire world a stage. I would still be speaking sense if I'd ask you to plan your next vacation not to Leh/Dehradun/Darjeeling but to Rajivchowk/Dharavi and embark upon your viewpoint, and watch the nature at work. Oh yeah, forget not, humans are also a part of nature. Please judge how well do we look compared to all those beautiful groups of animals.
Thanks for reading the boring thought process. Happy weekend.
