Identities are what we strive for. To create. To leave behind. In one way or another.

By what we wear, how we talk, what we talk about, with who we interact, and a hundred other things.
It is what we see ourselves as. It is what we wish others would see us for.
In a way, it can be our mask.

It becomes our protective sheild. It is what defines us. It is what we wish to be defined as. 

Because if we have no defination, then how do we answer the ever-evading question of "Who am I?"

Why have definations? Can't we be everything and everyone encompassed in one? Can't we be good as well as bad?
Rizwaan Khan's mom says nope.
There are 2 kinds of people - good people and bad people.
But she didn't talk about how even good people are driven to do bad things.
Like how Shantaram says "Sometimes you do the wrong things for the right reasons"..

NOW "Who am I?"

I take my share of peace in this..
I believe everyone is intrinsicly good. And everyone is capable of being bad.
And everyone chooses to be both or either. Never neither.
It is not something that is done out of helplessness. It is not something that is done to hide behind excuses.
It is done because YOU wanted to.

It is done because that is who YOU want to be.

So who do YOU want to be?

I love Hippo...pyaar baatteh chalo, pyaar baatteh chalo..
Yes...The cause of all evil is hunger.
Hunger for food. Hunger for love. Hunger for power. Hunger for land. Hunger for more...
Hunger for an identity.
