What makes you different?

Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Is marijuana bad for you?

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

What makes you YOU.

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

Why are Boomers so vehemently opposed to student loan forgiveness?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

Why do a bra and panties have to match?

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Agree?

Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

Can you make it?

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

So, keep on experimenting.

Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.
