What makes you different?

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?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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.

What is the process of becoming an Evangelical preacher? Is attending seminary school necessary? How long does it typically take? Is it financially challenging?

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

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

What is the dirtiest thing you have witnessed your wife do?

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

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.

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

Can you describe your experience taking the AIPMT/NEET entrance exam? Did you feel nervous or afraid while entering the examination hall and writing the exam?

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.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Do people really have sex with animals?

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

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

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

Do snipers lay on top of tank turrets during combat?

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

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

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

Why is digital marketing important?

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

So, keep on experimenting.

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

Why are people so rude to debt collector’s? I am one and I am so tired of being mistreated. We are under paid and then have to deal with the most ungrateful, and disrespectful people. We aren’t customer service. Don’t get mad at us because YOU owe.

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

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

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.

What can help me fall asleep at night?

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.

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.

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

What is the naughtiest fantasy that you've lived out?

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

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 if he’d come outside?

Why is it that when the Democrats absolutely love everyone to be LGBTP, they don't even acknowledge that Barack Obama and his husband Big Mike are homosexual, and he is the first homosexual president of the USA?

Agree?

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

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

Do you think Lady Gaga and Celine Dion have rehearsed separately for their performance at the Olympics opening ceremony?

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

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

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.

What makes you YOU.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Can you make it?

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.

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