It's deep seated. It lies dormant and suddenly uncoils with no warning. You can meditate, you can migrate, but, fellow Bombayite, nothing can protect you from the anger that has crept into your DNA and you're just powerless to channel or circumvent it
It’s deep seated. It lies dormant and suddenly uncoils with no warning. You can meditate, you can migrate, but, fellow Bombayite, nothing can protect you from the anger that has crept into your DNA and you’re just powerless to channel or circumvent it. Tell me I’m wrong? The latent rage that overhangs the city is more overwhelming than the descending smog.
Laughter and a laidback attitude have morphed into loathing and lividness. Red turns to green at a traffic signal. Like an orchestra seriously out of sync, a cacophony of horns and a cauldron of hate spews forth, tiny sparks producing major explosions, this is a battlefield far worse than tepid road rage, deep down resentments manifesting themselves. We’ve lost calm ness in the pot pourri of urbanmania. ‘Love your fellow man,’ seems to have receded into lynch him at the slightest provocation. When did that chill pill get replaced by sulphuric acid?
