Can an x-ray machine be a leveller of mankind?
It can if it's a baggage scanner at Mumbai airport on a Friday morning.
A long queue of dusgusted passengers wait to get their bags scanned because only one machine is operational - probably because the operator/security guard has rushed off to ensure that his bowesl evacuate his backside at the appropriate location :-)
There's the businessman sending his wife to get a copy of The Times of India and then, realising it's free, sends her back to get The Economic Times as well. Slavery exists yet.

There's the college-going, backpack girl with mom in tow wondering whether this is the right queue to be in.
A suited-booted CEO-type hitting the Blackberry... at 6.15 in the morning!
And then, right at the end, unassumingly stands the man who made the santoor so popular. Not irritated, not impatient. Just calm and soothing like his music.
He goes through the pain we all do, waits in the lounge, boards the aircraft and drops off to sleep. Celebrities need to learn from him before they start pulling strings and creating cacophony.
