What makes you different?

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.

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

— fri(end)s forever!

So, what actually makes us all different?

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.

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.

Why is Jack Smith arguing that presidents should not have full immunities as Trump is requesting?

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.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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.

What are the major security challenges facing India, both domestically and internationally, and how does the government address them?

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

What if he’d come outside?

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

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.

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

Do you believe that the portrayal of smoking in films and music videos contributes to the glamorization of cigarettes in society?

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.

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

What is the most sentimental item you inherited from someone dear to you and what does it mean to you?

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

Why does an older married man turn bisexual?

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?

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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

Has anyone tried bestiality and been caught?

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.

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

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.

Why is the mainstream media, traditionally liberal except for Fox, not reporting on Trump like he's a traditional candidate who has ideas, values, and a concern for the common good?

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

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.

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.

So, keep on experimenting.

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

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

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.

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.

Can you make it?

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

What makes you YOU.

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

Agree?
