I enjoy Twitter a lot, especially because it makes it so easy to keep in touch with many of my favourite people in the Indian film industry as well as other film(i) enthusiasts :)

Now and then some really bizarre stuff gets posted; miniature stories that refuse to leave my mind… Here’s one, posted by Bipasha Basu (http://twitter.com/bipsluvurself) on August 14, 2010:

Funniest thing happened at BLR airport entrance! One aunty pulled me dwn almost pinned me to smooch me!Somehow I was saved!Near escape!

[...] In SL fr IIFA I ws saying hello 2 ppl outside d hotel,1 girl pulled my hand n bit my finger hard!Bt tday’s aunty shocked me mre!

*gobsmacked* ?! Seriously… I’m at a complete loss for words… Hahaha… :D

A few days later Bipasha posted another interesting story – of a completely different kind – that caught my attention. Here’s the first bit:

Story time:Once thre ws n island where al d ‘feelings’ livd 2gether.1 day a storm came in d sea n d island ws getting flooded dangerously.

Evry feeling ws scared bt Lve mde a boat 2 escape. Evry feeling gt in2 d boat.1 feeling ws left. Lve gt dwn 2 c who it ws. It ws Ego.

Lve tried n tried bt ego did nt mve!Evry1 askd Lve 2 leave him n cme,bt “Lve ws meant 2 lve”it remained wth Ego.

At this point, I’m smiling and feeling all warm and fuzzy inside… »What a lovely, lovely story!« I’m thinking to myself, happy to have encountered yet another one of them profoundly spiritual and insightful stories that keeps spilling out of India and the hearts of its people. So sweet and heart-warming :)

However, then I continued reading:

All the other feelings left alive but”Love died because of Ego”
Sad story!! Let’s all say bye to irrational EGO!

Hmm… that totally put the story in a different light for me! And I have to admit, I actually prefer it without that last part…

Does the story resonate more with you with or without the last two lines? Why?
