I saw this video of Sushant Singh: https://twitter.com/SindhiChokroVB/status/1274790529318793216
These were my thoughts:
I can see myself in this guy, and there were probably times where I could have been in his place. There is a loneliness among people who understand stuff, but do not have people around them to share it with. The more you know, the more you have to process, the more angst you get filled with.
If I had seen this video before, I would have known we belong to the same tribe. And I am sure hundreds, if not thousands of people have similar approach towards life too. But, as it turns out, not many people like me want to follow a mainstream Bollywood star.
I have to narrow down on stuff because I want to go so wide, and also really deep at places. So I wander on Twitter, Reddit, even YouTube. But his Distribution is completely out of my Venn diagram.
Today, I saw this video because he is dead. That is what it took for him to get enough Distribution to get to me. What heartbreak, and what use!
I think of broadcasting my views out in the space because I know there are others out there. But I do not have a fraction of Distribution that he had. So this blog becomes my cry in an empty space. Hoping one day, before or after my death, someone will stumble on this, and see a man that makes them smile, just like this video made me smile.
PS: He talks about change and rate of change.
