00:00We are forcefully made to believe that the purpose of life is to chase a man or a woman
00:08and the highest possible ideal is to spend time or life with some nice and right person.
00:16That is what you also call as settling down.
00:18That ideal is ingrained in our minds from a very very early age and it refuses to leave
00:25us even after we turn 80 or 90.
00:29What is life for?
00:30Life is not for a noble cause.
00:32Life is not for liberation.
00:34Life is not for knowledge.
00:36Life is not for exploration.
00:38Life is so that you can have somebody's hand in your hand.
00:42Life is for romance, right?
00:44It becomes impossible for us to even imagine a life that is not welded to somebody else's.
00:54What else is welding?
00:55Welding.
00:56That's why so much fire is there.
