A Mixed Experience.....

My life has become quite interesting nowadays. The least expected things are popping up from nowhere. And the most expected ones are just taking a stroll in my daydreams. It was just 2 days back when I had a so-called a 'mixed' experience. I don't know if it was good or bad. Somehow I didn't expect it. I saw a schizophrenic patient just sitting beside at Prakruti (@IISc). I had seen the beautiful film named " A Beautiful Mind". Before I didn't have a chance to see a person actually experiencing continuous hallucinations and participating in them as a schizophrenic patient experiences. Imagine yourself with 2 or 3 friends at a restaurant. The general behaviour would be to talk about various issues going on in your life, crack jokes on each other or sometimes how the food was. The most beautiful thing of this hallucination is that as you went to the restaurant with your friends and did the general actions that you would do , the person I saw performed the same actions but there was no one in front of him or beside him. I was actually sitting beside him. He was not even interested in any other persons who sat at a distance from him. But I can say the converse was false. It is because it is not common to see a person doing weird (with respect to us ) stuffs. The first thing I inferred from the actions he was performing was that he was a schizophrenic patient. I would like to see him again because behavioural patterns are something that drives me crazy.
