What makes you different?

What makes you different?

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?

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

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

Is having white skin really that attractive?

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

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.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Can you make it?

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Why do I feel so down and not happy anymore? I also feel really tired and non-motivated. Is that normal for someone to feel that way?

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.

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.

Which city should one visit between Nice and Cannes? Why?

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

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

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.

Does the Hamas charter specifically call for the death of all Jews and the destruction of Israel?

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.

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.

What is your favorite underrated movie and why? What makes it underrated? How did you find 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.

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

So, what actually makes us all different?

How would you advertise if you wanted to be a "tour guide" who can take you through the dark web while warning you what not to look at and not to click on?

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

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

If you’re an atheist, what would be your motive in spreading atheism, and why would you care what others believe?

So, keep on experimenting.

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

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.

Are there any real-life examples of prisoners who escaped from hospitals and were never caught?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

My grandmother deeded me her house before she passed last year. Her son still lives there refusing to move. What steps should I take to have him removed?

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

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

What makes you YOU.

Why do we still feel attached or jealous when a covert narcissist moves on, even after realizing their toxicity and the suffering they caused?

Agree?

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

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

How did you cope when someone you love, dealing with hyper-independence and trauma, felt they needed space to heal alone? Were you able to support them without overstepping, and did you eventually reconnect? How did that journey unfold?

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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.

Did another parent ever tell you something about your child that you didn’t know?

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

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

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.

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?

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

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

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