What makes you different?

What makes you different?

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 mess, yet being okay with it.

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.

If Trump were to lose in 2024, would that be the end of his grip on the Republican Party?

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.

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

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

Isn't it ironic people always talk about how much women hate Donald Trump, when almost any of them would marry him if they could? What he said in the 2005 Billy Bush video, almost every woman would share the sentiment if it got them his lifestyle.

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

Agree?

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

Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

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.

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

What makes you YOU.

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

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

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?

What if he’d come outside?

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.

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

Can you make it?

How do I rat my boss out for serial cheating on his wife?

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

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

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

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?

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.

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

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.

What should a young woman do to control sagging breasts?

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Do women like men who have slept with many women?

So, keep on experimenting.

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.

I'm looking for an answer from people who consider themselves "Gender Critical", or transphobic, or TERFs, and my question is this - Why would you refuse to use the pronouns someone wants? What does it cost you? Where's the harm?

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.

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

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

Two of my family members have recently converted to Islam and have brought shame on my family. How do I get them back into the fold of Hinduism?

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 feminists not demanded that females be required to register with the selective service? Are female lives more precious than male lives?

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.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.
