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

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.

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

Without experiments, is life worth it.

There was this one weird Bollywood movie that was released in the 2000s. Amitabh Bachchan was starring with another actress and the story was about how the old guy (Amitabh Bachchan) fell in love with the young woman. What is the name of this movie?

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

Have you ever had sex with your mother-in-law? If so, how was it and did your wife ever find out?

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.

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

Do you wear tights for warmth or to make your legs look better?

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

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

Can you provide a list of cities named after animals and the animals they were named after?

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.

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.

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

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

So, keep on experimenting.

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

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

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

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.

Can you make 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.

What is something you have to share?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Agree?
