Kutte... Kaminey

There is this dialoge in the recently released "Kaminey"
which goes something like...
"One doesn't get screwed by the path one chooses... but
rather by the path not chosen"

Well, if you analyze this further you will notice that if you
choose a path, then obviously you are not choosing the
other (unless you are a mentally-handicapped convict
with no choice but to serve your sentence).
So you will get screwed for not choosing path B.

Now instead, if you choose the unchosen path, ie path B,
you are still choosing one and not choosing the other (path A)
... which means that you will still get screwed (for not choosing
path A this time).

So no matter which path you choose, "getting screwed" is
a given, regardless of the path chosen. Hence the above
statement is proved wrong.

But another axiom overrules all other theories in the movie
and that is "Life is a bitch" ("Duniya bahot kutti hai" or something
to that effect).... The important improvisation coming from the
theorem I proved wrong is "any which way"...

So moral of the movie... "Life is a bitch... any which way".. :)
