One is young. Just recently he bought a car that has a 'heater' in it. He travels from West to East from the northern highway. He has many experiences of freezing inside his previous car. Today he is satisfied he won’t face the bitter cold wind. He starts the journey early in the morning from Thimphu.
He is old and drives a car which has both the options of making the interior cold and hot. Today he drives towards east from the southern route via Bengal and Assam States. He starts the journey early in the morning from Phuentsholing.
Young man reaches Pelela while old man has just entered into Assamese soil. Both have something to say, almost at the same moment.
Young man grumbles, “This heater is nauseating me.”
Somewhere in the plains thousands feet below, the old man utters, “The compressed air from AC is making me sick.” The young man thinks, “If only I have taken the southern route,” while an old man thinks, “If only I have taken the northern route.”
The two men have never met.
