What makes you different?

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.

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.

What is the worst emotional pain you ever felt as an adult?

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.

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

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

A Giant Hole Just Opened in The Sun – And It's Blasting Earth With Solar Wind - ScienceAlert

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.

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.

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.

Do all therapists specialize in one specific type of therapy, or are they trained in multiple types?

Can you make it?

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

What is your wildest experience in Bangalore that you haven’t told anyone?

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

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

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?

Why would a person always be so tired?

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.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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

How do I get fit at home?

Agree?

What makes you YOU.

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

Why do some people believe that Homelander would be no match for Superman or Thor?

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

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

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 am married for 3 years. My husband keeps pressing my boobs 40-50 times a day. He never stops though I ask him not to. What I should do to stop 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.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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

Is something wrong with my discharge? So, when I masturbate, white discharge comes from my vagina, but it's not stretchy, it's pasty. It doesn't smell and I'm not itchy, so I'm sure it's not a yeast infection. Why is it pasty though?

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

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

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.

How do you take your erotic photos and how do you choose the poses?

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

So, what actually makes us all different?

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

How do you respond to "I don't like you anymore"?

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.

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.

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

Do people really have sex with animals?

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

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

What if he’d come outside?

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.

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.

So, keep on experimenting.

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.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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

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

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

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

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