What makes you different?

What makes you different?

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

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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

While emptying a house, have you ever seen something in it that blew your mind?

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

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.

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

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

☆ what's the thing that made u fell in love with your bias?

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.

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

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

What is your analysis of Walter White from Breaking Bad?

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

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

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

Why is it rare for someone to despise both the Democrats and Republicans?

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

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?

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

What sexual experience did you have at a highway rest area?

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

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

What do you think of the Black history lessons in the PBS documentary about jazz pianist-singer Hazel Scott?

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

Can you make it?

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

What is the kinkiest thing you and your sex partner have done in bed?

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.

Agree?

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

Why cant I stop thinking about counsellor between sessions?

What makes you YOU.

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

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.

Why do I sweat so much after shower?

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

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.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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

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 if he’d come outside?

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

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

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

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

So, keep on experimenting.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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