What makes you different?

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

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Why do people say African Americans act the way they do because they're poor, when the ones with money act the same?

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?

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.

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

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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.

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

Why is dating so frustrating and difficult for a guy?

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

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

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

What makes you YOU.

So, keep on experimenting.

Why do women need to wear bras, in spite of the fact that the breasts are an integral part of the body?

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

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

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

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.

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 if he’d come outside?

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

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

Can you make it?

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

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

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

How does an experienced gay/bi guy handle a bi-courius guy on his first time?

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.

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

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.

Is there an MBTI personality that is more or less likely to handle stress?

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.

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.

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

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Agree?

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

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

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

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