INDEX : The carnival, the lab
Its tough to imagine what a city really is. You are one person. You like one thing. Thousands like you. Thousands identical. Thousands similar. Thousands polar opposites. A living breathing mass of juxtaposed strangers…who think like a group. Sometimes like a team! Popular thoughts of high traffic like the national highways that shoot across Lucknow. Tiny bubbles of original choice like the Galiyan in Chowk. Connections form and amalgamate like streets that criss cross at the scores of chaurahas. A labyrinthine web of thoughts that live secret, dormant lives in the furthest corner of minds. Suddenly becoming visible, in all their glory, in busy supermarkets. In the Sharma ji ki nukkad wali dukaan. In every Agarwal store. Quietly whispering in consumers’ ears to buy this. Not that. And now. Not later.
