Such small doors in such tall houses!

“Some people can't see their piteous personalities. They can't fathom the of their own selves!

They remain prisoners in their own cages of archaic thoughts. Fettered to a parochial mentality, they fail to become visionaries! Enslaved to their innate desire for pettiness, they remain small minded and little hearted!

Alas, wearing a well-tailored tailored suit or a trendy blazer does not take away their lack of sophistication. Unknowingly they make a caricature of themselves!

Thus, they remain epitomes of platitude and banality; their thoughts reek of oafishness, fatuousness, and avariciousness!

In the process, they fail to inspire the world, and let down people around them.”
― Avijeet Das
