Crowds: Blend in or stand out

You can either be a part of the crowd or stand out. The choice is yours.

What happens when you decide to add to the teeming millions? Simple. You become a part of the sea; a sea of blues, blacks, whites marching to the sounds of hundreds of conversations. You lose you identity. Nobody cares what you wear or how you talk. Nobody cares whether you are Bill Gates' cousin or Dharavi's son. You are going through the motions just like the others. It's not about you. It's not about them.

Ok, you decide to stand out? What happens then? In your quest for an identity, you try hard to not succumb to the call of the herd. In your struggle to carve a path, you are beaten and battered to the point of submission. And yet, you decide to get up, dust your pants and move forward. It's about you. It's not about them .

So, blend in or stand out. Your choice is all that matters.
