Random Thoughts-1

There's no such thing as fiction. What is fiction for one person, might be reality for another. I mean, honestly, haven't we always, at one level or another, identified with some of the characters in a play, a movie, a novel? Is it so far off to imagine, then, that the story might really be someone's life history, somewhere? I believe Devdas to be the epitome of a loser, but don't we see so many people around us acting like him, thinking themselves to be some kind of tragic heroes? Is it impossible that Devdas, a purely fictional character, might be inspired by a true tale?
