The Conformist

No No! No No! Its not another review on the movie! More of a thought about the generation of people who are somewhere in between, still trying to find where we belong!

Are we socialists, feminists, conformists, partly traditional, partly orthodox, partly liberal, partly bold, partly independent - isn't anything in parts just dangerous!!?! Sometimes we are so swamped by social theories, political movements and moral philosophies, we forget exactly what we are but then is there such a thing at all!

I haven't always conformed to the way a "indian girl child" should be and behave, but I have never really broken away from the mould either. There so many of us who like to be as different as we can be and yet are scared to be too different! We want to be noticed yet not stand out(like a sore thumb!!?!?!) in a crowd! Seems to be a thing that I live with in every decision I make everyday! And I wonder if its just me or its everything around me that makes me this way! The fact that parents arent yet used to the need of "wanting to be different" or the new breed at work who are all so "different" that we have to strive very hard to keep up!
