Street Guru (Part 1)

Nitin Sawhney

They've incorporated their culture and their values into 
the city and they've enriched the city
both like, from uh, you know work ethic and you know the 
restaurants and the music and it's really a diverse city.
I mean you walk through the Vany Avenue, you know you go 
through Korean neighborhoods,
Old Jewish neighborhoods, Arabic neighborhoods, uh, 
Pakistani-Indian neighborhoods.
It's incredible. The intensity... I think yeah, development
 has pushed us away from other people.
You know a lot of times people are rude because they want 
like immediate access or immediate information.
You know some things in life can't be immediate, sometimes 
you gotta wait and let things happen...
People are like, are increasingly rude. Like I'll say 
somebody will get in a cab, we'll say "I'll get em there in
 5 minutes."
And they'll say, "Well, It should only take 3." Now who 
gives a shit if it takes 5 minutes or 3 minutes, who cares?
At the end of your life nobody's gonna put at your tomb 
stone "shit I got in a cab in five, in seven minutes 
instead of three".
You know, It doesn't matter, and technology has made us 
slaves to time.
Naw, a lot of people that are really have technical jobs, 
they're slaves to time.
And time is the essence of life it seems like. And they're 
basically like losing it
They're losing the essence of their life because, you know,
 their life is like just going away and,
They're not enjoying it because their so engrossed in 
efficiency and productivity and shit like that.
That it's almost sad. They all come here from somewhere 
else like seeking their fame and fortune or,
The top jobs and they're and career-you know, in their, in 
their industries.

They get very engrossed, and they into these you know these
 cell phones and computers and...
I think the real important things in life are you know, 
people and your family.
I think you don't realize that, a lot of people don't 
realize that until they're older.
I think there's going to be a backlash against technology.
