Excerpts :
"While riding my scooter at a slow speed, I observe people. Their actions, their facial expressions, their body language. I notice their smiles and laughter, scorns and scowls, and their pensiveness. Obviously, I do it with all my senses intact and being watchful of the moving traffic. I ride following the traffic rule – Keep Left – so as to allow the speeding vehicles to win the race. The most interesting moment to observe is at the traffic signal. The confluence of people of different ages at one place: some listening to the music in their car; a few talking with the pillion rider; a couple of them blurting obscenities on the phone; someone checking messages on the mobile; someone spitting phlegm; someone making graffiti on the road by splattering red juice; someone constantly keeping an eye on the signal to turn green."

"ineresting thoughts. enjoyed reading. the approach
"In a similar fashion, i want to observe my actions, my state of mind, and my body language while progressing towards the unknown future at a comparatively slower speed. i want to know if i am able to maintain equanimity even in a challenging situation as i do during the traffic on the road.\"
can help anyone at a dead end to take the right diversion. keep writing'

Literature : Shakespeare's Comedies
https://www.sparknotes.com/shakespeare/life-and-times/plays-by-genre/comedy/
"If there is a single element that unites all Shakespearean comedies, it is a wedding, or several weddings, at the end of the play. Although not all of the fourteen plays classified as comedies in the First Folio are particularly light-hearted or humorous, all end with at least one marriage. The convention of ending a comedy with a wedding provides the audience with assurance that whatever conflicts arise in the play will not have lasting, negative consequences for the protagonists or society at large. Unlike the fatal conflicts of Shakespeare’s tragedies, conflicts in his comedies are reconciled before serious harm can come to anyone. Because the audience knows the discord is only temporary, we don’t take the foibles and misfortunes of the characters seriously, and we trust they will end the play happier than they began.
(Please note, even in the 16th Century : "All comedies end with a marriage/several marriages"🙏-Warrier)
