muñh kī baat sune har koī dil ke dard ko jaane kaun
āvāzoñ ke bāzāroñ meñ ḳhāmoshī pahchāne kaun
This mismatch between the mouth and heart grows as we grow up. In fact this is the real growing up we need to do, to hide and pretend.
A child never pretends, we make games and play situation so they learn to pretend , to think and act what they aren't .
We call it encouraging creativity but we are teaching to them to pretend.
Grown up are defined by the level of pretence kept and maintained by us. We have a version of our self to all people around us. Each person around us maintaines a version of us and we try to project a version to each of them.
This could be the actual multiverse concept. We are living the multiple version of ourself for others.
Only the " self" knows the real version or in most case some part of it. We ourself can't predict what we will do when faced with situation never faced before.Will we fight or flight, empathize or ignore?
And for this only the poet says:
vo merī parchhā.īñ hai yā maiñ us kā ā.īna huuñ
mere hī ghar meñ rahtā hai mujh jaisā hī jaane kaun.
