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

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?

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.

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.

What was something you did naughty with your cousin?

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.

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

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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.

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

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

What makes you YOU.

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