We sometimes internalise another's way of looking at the world.
So as an example, I have this friend - who almost everytime we pass by the ocean (in Mumbai) - he says "The bloody ocean is angry", and when I have asked "why" a few times - the sardonic answer is because "she is restrained", "you have built land on her frayed edges".
Yesterday and today as I drove past the worli-south mumbai ocean, it occurred to me, my friend is indeed right. I could see the "sea being angry", lashing at us - almost growling, almost irritated.
Am I seeing the world through my friend's eyes. Maybe yes, but I am glad - because today the "bloody ocean was indeed frothing".
