dis parity

As we meet and interact with people holding different passports on them, we realize that because of various constraints in language, in culture, in backgrounds ideas do not get communicated well. At least as much as we intend to. People often either wince or draw blank faces, they cannot help but stare at you as if looking into black holes not knowing where you could be coming from. Then we realize how different we are, how much diversity there exists in all aspects and move on.

Yet,

I have noticed that there are a few phenomena that are, to put in the simplest form, universal. No matter how different we are, there are a few things at random experiencing which you either sigh, or smile, or wince as the case may be thinking no matter where we go things are the same. Here are such non-exhaustive random things I have noticed.

  • education, craving grades, craving GPAs and CGPAs
  • higher education
  • brands
  • Sex
  • interest in the opposite sex
  • vanity
  • avarice
  • fear of law, not necessarily respect for law
  • freedom hot spots
