attachments

these days, most emails are allowing bigger attachment file size..  there was a time, when it couldn't be bigger than 1 mb..

anyway, this blog is not about that, and you might have guessed.  its about the real attachments in life we have with each other.  some people can be obsessed with them and some people are detached with everyone to the core.

there can be 2 poles.  the general eastern culture, or Indian culture is a collective one, where relatives, friends, teachers, co-workers, by-standers, total strangers have a say about what you should do in your life...   and other / another culture, where its very individualistic.  though changes are happening; cultural stereotypes are harder to predict.

but, even in these collective cultural melting pot, there are people who have very different life experiences.  who live alone, on their own, dont have to plead with half a dozen others to get permission to see a movie, and dont have to worry about 'what will people say'...   how will such a person with a decade of this kind of experience interact with a co-worker, who live like extension of their family, friends, neighbors and their dog?  both will feel the other is an alien.

that leads to another flash..   about people who use excessive amount of adjectives and superlatives to describe experiences.  how would you deal with someone, who will describe their mundane morning tea, as the most amazing experience in entire life, it was incredulous and changed me forever!!  i mean, that's their low rating..  kind of like the 1 out of 10.  i dont even want to imagine how he/she will describe their 10 level experience.   there is another question, "why do some people exaggerate so much - i.e. through superlative adjectives"?  are they trying to live a bigger life or cant deal with un-exaggerated life experiences? ...

well, is there an ideal life? or are we all simply chasing dreams??
