Everyone has a sense of space or home. Now, even a madman has that.....It's weird that for past one week I have noticed this one madman on the same road every time I am driving to work.
May be they define their area in their own way. Today I remember the lines (gibberish) from Manto's Toba Tek Singh
"Upri gur gur di annexe di be-dhiyan o mung di daal of di lalteen."
Just the fact that a madman draws boundaries around him in his own way is remarkable and tells you why we need a home. why a human heart/brain yearns for that space.
When I was thrown out of house at the age of 12....first thing I did was create my own space in the park.
(After about two weeks)
Remember the madman of Sarita Vihar-I did not see him for a few days......I though he is dead.....may be he was out for a vacation.....this could be a nice song:
Madman on a vacation
I missed his sight on the street....
I will complete this song one day.
but he came back today....
