Lineage in a layman's language is anything gotten through the ages which makes a mark of itself in every act and behaviour of the individual-scientifically called as genes which have a predetermined performance.
However in a different school of thought I believe lineage has got to do with the culture and educational acquittance of doing something in a particular way gotten through ages.
I just happen to think about this topic while travelling last evening back from the office.
Life's journey is simply the most tantalising and simply beautiful one,except for that we are not nimble in our attitude to go with it,the way it is pre-destined to go about.
A small boy on the street standing there selling hot samosa's - a piece for Re.2 is hardly aware of the economy,recession.While the same me sitting in the bus resting my jaws on my hands a pensive mood in way as if the whole sky is going to come down in pieces the next moment and life is "THAT'S IT"...
What is that which marks a line of distinction between the two of us living in the same world,eating the
same food grown (may be in different places and in different ways),breathing the same air and yet the world of both of us seem to millions of miles apart..........
Does lineage play a role in this way of our being?
Why is this so ardent in our ways...common statements.."she is like her mom.."he stands with his dad..."
And a prenotion in people even before trying to understand the way the individual could be so different leaving behind everything of reference and make a name all by himself.
Should a cobbler's son be a cobbler?Why dont we all give a second chance to our thoughts before concluding on something?Are we humans so very mechanical that the desired output is fixed for a kind of a picture?
Lots of haunting questions......to be continued
