What makes you 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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

What makes you YOU.

What is the best eye cream for your dark circles?

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.

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.

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

What are some tips for keeping a durag on for a longer period of time?

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

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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

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.

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