What makes you different?

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 okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.
Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.
Why do Indian parents force their kids to do stuff?
Take my word. You won’t regret it.
Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.
Can you make it?
I always feel very tired after I do some exercises, even after a night's sleep. What's the problem?
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.
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?
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.
Don’t drink because everybody does today.
Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.
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.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?
What makes you YOU.
What is the most memorable thing that happened in your college days?
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.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
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.
Why am I attracted to older men?
Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
So, keep on experimenting.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Without experiments, is life worth it.
Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.
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.

What is the most heartbreaking or sad love story that you ever had (experienced)?
I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.
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.
A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

What if he’d come outside?
Agree?
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.

So, what actually makes us all different?
I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.
C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.
