What makes you different?

What makes you YOU.

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

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.

The Xbox Games Showcase was great, but there were at least 5 games I wanted to see that never showed - Windows Central

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.

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

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

What is something you saw while on an airplane that you couldn't believe?

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

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.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?

What if he’d come outside?

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

Agree?

Jenny from Perth writes – my partner is the life of the party, women and men adore him. But at home, he gets angry at us for the silliest reasons and never nice words me or our kids, always putting us down. Should I stay or leave him?

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.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Why am I dreaming of people I've never seen before?

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.

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Why is there no great temptress figure in any of Tolkien’s major works?

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.

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.

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

Why do some people have sex with dogs?

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

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?

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

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

Can you make it?

I caught my neighbor leaving his 12-year-old son home alone and he has not come back in 6 hours. Should I call CPS?

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

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

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

Can I have a comfortable life as a nurse in Sweden? Can I buy a house and not worry about the cost of living?

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.

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 does Christianity push reconciliation after a partner cheats? Mine had a 7-year affair with someone half my age. He cheated and lied. He is not the same to me.

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

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.

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

The International Boxing Association said that Khelif and Lin competing in Paris Olympics were disqualified from the tournament for testing positive for XY chromosomes which give an unfair advantage in the women’s division. What do you think?

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

So, keep on experimenting.

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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 go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.
