What makes you different?

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

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.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Can I study a master’s in travel and tourism in Sweden within a budget of 5 lakhs INR?

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

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

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

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

What if he’d come outside?

What makes you YOU.

I was awaken between 2-3am by a voice that said “Hey”. Literally right next to my ear. Sounded like a males voice, but it wasn’t stern or deep. What could this mean?

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?

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

So, what actually makes us all different?

Do snipers lay on top of tank turrets during combat?

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.

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.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Agree?

Why do liberals think same-sex marriage is alright? The Bible makes it very clear that it's not alright to be gay, why can't liberals understand that?

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

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

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

Can they start feeding only one meal to prisoners on death row or those doing a life sentence? Because only then will it be real punishment. If they want extra food they can work or pay from their own pocket.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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

Why do I have an itch in my labia, white gooey and thick discharge which doesn't have a smell but my vagina does sometimes and both me and my partner do not have STDs, what is it?

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.

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

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

What do you think about Vivian Jenna Wilson's decision to speak out against her father, Elon Musk, in a public interview with NBC News?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

How do you perform a lap dance for your boyfriend or husband?

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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.

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.

What are the primary causes of the persistent smog crisis affecting Delhi and other parts of North India?

Can you make it?

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

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

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

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

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