surprising behaviour

S: I heard tell of some surprising behaviour.

A: You are quite unpredictable yourself. There are no surprises. Just acts.

S: True. You have to adapt to change. Your brain is changing all the time. You are always changing. This idea that you have a constant identity over time is an illusion. It is all contextual.

A: There are some constants. You have told me that you have always been brave.

S: It is the context. Punjab demands it. It is the requirement of the warrior culture.

A: You are patient. You are determined.

S: Age teaches patience. This determination comes from the ambition of the people.

A: They know you. You are dependable and knowable. There is something in you that can be recognised.

S: They look at my art. At my poetry. And they say everything is different from everything else. What of that?

A: Experimentation necessitates innovation and novelty. You carry Indian tradition. Is that not a continuation of personality?

S: You would have me be a me caught in stone? The versions of me on the street, in the family, in private, how does anyone know if they are compatible?

A: And you would not be you. You know that there is stone in identity. What is within creates an aura.

S: There is only my names I want to be. My names. My names are Tiger and god.
