What makes you different?

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

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

What does the Bible say about the Antichrist? How will we know when he arrives on the scene?

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

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 drink because everybody does today.

Why are girls supposed to have a stereotypical "hourglass" body shape, and why if you dont have an "hourglass" body shape you get treated differently? It doesnt make any sense to me.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Agree?

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.

At what stage in your life did you realize, "No, I can't do this any more" and walk out? Why?

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.

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

What makes you YOU.

How does someone start doing urban exploration?

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

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.

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 would my nipples hurt when I touch them?

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.

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

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

23andMe says 15% of customers asked to delete their genetic data since bankruptcy - TechCrunch

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

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

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

Why is it common for guys to sleep with 10-20 women then marry a good girl?

Can you make it?

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.

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.

Do you regret being married to your current wife?

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.

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

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

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

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

So, keep on experimenting.

So, what actually makes us all different?

If Donald Trump is so evil and Joe Biden is so good why is Trump the one selflessly providing Bibles for the needy while Biden doesn't? Why doesn't Biden care for America's spiritually needy people as much as Trump?

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

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

What are the most extreme examples of hypocrisy?

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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.

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.

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

What if he’d come outside?

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

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.

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

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.
