What makes you different?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Relocating to Sweden to save money. I got a job offer of 47000SEK before tax, visas sponsored for my wife & my mother (with a laryngectomy). My wife, a general medicine graduate, wants to specialize in Sweden. Can we live well and save 4000€ monthly?

Without experiments, is life worth it.

What makes you YOU.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Agree?

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 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.

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?

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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.

Can you make it?

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

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

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

Can you describe what it's like to live in a town known for Harley Davidson motorcycles?

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

So, keep on experimenting.

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

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.

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.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

So, what actually makes us all different?

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 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 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.
