"Main woh hoon jo aaj bus aur train mein chadhne se darta hai. Main woh hoon jo kaam par jata hai toh uski biwi ko lagta hai jung pe ja raha hai. Pata nahi lautega ya nahi. Har 2 ghante baad phone karti hai ki chai pee ki nahi, khana khaya ki nahi. Darasal woh yeh jaanna chahti hai ki main zinda hoon ya nahi. Main woh hoon jo kabhi barsaat mein fansta hai, kabhi blast mein. Main woh hoon jo kisi ke haath mein tasbeeh dekhke shaq karta hai aur main woh bhi hoon jo aaj-kal daadhi badhane aur topi pahenne se ghabrata hai. Business ke liye dukaan khareedta hai toh sochta hai dukaan ka naam kya rakhoon. Kahin dange mein mera naam dekhke meri dukaan na jala dein? Jhagda kisi ka bhi ho, bewajah marta main hi hoon. Bheed toh dekhi hogi na aapne? Bheed mein se koi 1 shakal chun lijiye, main woh hoon. I'm just the stupid common man wanting to clean his house."
Translation: "I'm someone who is afraid to get into a bus or a train these days. I'm someone whose wife thinks that he is going to war while I'm actually going to my work. She is afraid that I may not return. She calls up every two hours to find if I had my tea, to find if I had my lunch. Actually she wants to find out whether I'm still alive or not. I'm someone who sometimes gets stuck in the rain or in the blasts. I'm someone who suspects the person carrying a rosary. I'm also the one who is afraid to grow his beard and wear a cap. If I buy a shop I'm afraid to choose a name as someone might see the name and burn it during the riots. No matter whoever is fighting, I'm the first one to get killed. You must have seen a crowd. Choose a person from it.

I'm that person.
