What makes you different?

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.

Can you make it?

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

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

What makes you YOU.

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

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.

Why do older men like to get anal sex?

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

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

What happen if all of a sudden a movie star decides to quit acting?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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

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

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.

So, keep on experimenting.

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?

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

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

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

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.
