long long back i remember om puri saying this in a movie - no idea which one- nasha sharab me nahi khoon me hai saaki, sharab me hota to botal na jhoom jaati?
:)
i thought that was an acute observation.
alcohol by itself is a good solvent, flammable, but benign. blood on its own is quite sane, sometimes hot headed and ready to boil, but still under control. it is the two together, the mix - that is intoxicating.
sometimes the whole is not just a sum of its parts, it is more, beyond that, far greater. something entirely new and different.
it's like love. when two people come together.
when others look at her they don't see what makes his heart stop.
when others look at him they don't see what drives her to the verge of insanity and back.
they don't see why she has to look away, and why he has to pretend like nothing happened, they don't see why these poor things try so hard to hide the sparks that no one else can see in the first place.
to everyone else they are both quite boring.
but to them, when they are together, life is exciting, they are the stars of their own stories.
it is not the kind of thing you could explain to someone, it does not add up to others - because it is the kind of thing that is not entirely the sum of its parts.
