What makes you different?

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?

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

What happened to The Simpsons deleted onscreen footage?

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

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

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

Which is the correct Tamil New Year, Thai-1 or Chithirai-1?

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

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Why have Indian girls almost stopped wearing sarees?

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

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.

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

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Have you ever been physically attacked by a demon?

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.

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

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.

Is it ok for someone to crossdress in public?

Can you make 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.

Agree?

Is there a specific time frame for therapists to tell their clients they are wrong?

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.

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

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.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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 Reagan seen as the best president in the USA when he literally destroyed the American economy with trickle down system and was strongly against worker unions?

So, keep on experimenting.

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

Are you afraid of being alone?

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

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

What makes you YOU.

Do you usually wear your panties over or under your pantyhose?

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

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

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

Do women lack the mental strength to succeed at STEM? There seems to be few women at STEM and more women leave STEM after a time of working at it. How can it be just sexism if women aren't banned from entering?

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

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

What if he’d come outside?

Is it wise to choose your family over your honor?

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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