Nice ??? Interesting ???

'...I thought about the difference between the interesting people and the nice people. And how they can't always be identical. The interesting people you wanted to be with - their minds were unusual, you saw things freshly with them and all was not deadness and repetition. Then there were the nice people who weren't interesting, and you didn't want to know what they thought of anything.'

- Hanif Kureishi, from 'The Buddha of Suburbia'.

The nice people are usually predictable - one can guess what they're thinking and what their opinion would be on some topic or the other.
And one cant really have a fairly long conversation with them...it generally goes like 'Hi! How u doing ?' and the likes...
But that's not so with the interesting lot...you can go on talking and discussing anything and everything with them...the interesting ones are generally the ones who would have read more books, heard more music, met many people, been to many places etc. etc. and would have many incidents to relate and experiences to share with you...

Of course, i dont mean to look down upon the nice people or appraise the interesting ones...a person may be considered nice by someone and interesting by someone else...there's nothing hard and fast about it...its all a point of view...
