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

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

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.
Can you share something that captivates you, whether it's an idea, a discovery, or an invention?
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.
P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?
Have you ever had a bad gut feeling about someone and it was right?
Without experiments, is life worth it.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

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

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
