Misfits

Misfits

He is not right for you.
That’s not how you do it.
You are wrong.
You can’t marry her.

So you frequently learn what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes you correct your self out of compulsion. It’s the best way that you make yourself fit in this PERFECT world. 

But the question is, is to fit in to this world your purpose? Is that what your up bringing is all about?

A fish can swim as soon as it is born. But we need a lot of nurturing and protection at the earlier stages of our lives. These are the stages where we are moulded. I think that what makes us to be the smartest species on this planet. We question things, we learn things. But then comes the rules. 

My understanding, this world is afraid of our questions. It is afraid that we might question its ways. So they made rules and if we don’t abide by them we are called misfits. You are supposed to get a career by 24. You are supposed to marry by 30. Supposed to have a child by 33. Supposed to earn a lot of money. Supposed to make a lot of friends. Supposed to buy things. Supposed to retire by 60. Then you fit in. Then you are accepted.

But if you choose out of this circle, you are a misfit. From the beginning of the times we hate things which we don’t understand. We keep them far. So they ask us,  do you want to fit in or not?

May be some don’t want to fit in. May be they are wrong, may be they are right. But they live by their own rules and they are content. 

I always believe we have the right to live by our terms and we have the right to end it by our terms. I have failed to understand this world. I don’t want to fit in to this world. But I gave up. I lost. I have no respect towards this system anymore. There so much wrong in this world. So much of anger in me. I failed. I started practicing hatred now. I can’t act anymore. I’m tired.

May be 100 years from now...there will be a lot of misfits. May be it will be OK to be a misfit, one day.

The true story of fire and ice

The true story of fire and ice It was April 2005.  I was in my 7th standard. I was riding my bicycle fast, to go to a near by medical shop. No, not to buy anything but to check on the score, as we had a power cut. Sehwag got out. He should have been little careful, missed his century. Idiot. I was cursing him in my head. I just hope the rest of the team manages to make a respectable score now.  It’s time for me to go to ground and play cricket. We played for sometime and came back to check on the score once again. There he was on the little television set at the corner in the medical shop. He had a long hair and boggling with joy. ‘That’s his first century, he is the new wicketkeeper in Karthik’s place’ said one my friend. He was stout tall and with wide shoulders. He looked so different from a regular international player. He looked callous in attitude.  ‘What’s his name’, I asked, he replied ‘Dhoni’.  That was the first time I saw you. You were full of energy, but ...

2020. We all hate the year. All of us suffered. Most of us lost a lot. Strange things happened, and we ended up doing weird things. Most of it all, we all grew. We evolved.  Suddenly, life has become difficult. Everything we took for granted has become so eluding in no time. We no more can enjoy simplest of joys like going to a movie or to shop in a mall. Visiting a grocery store has become our little adventure. We got agitated, frustrated and few of us depressed. We understood how brittle our lives are and how less time we owe on this planet. We found happiness in little things. And man, those little things we never paid attention to, really made the difference for us this year. Little things like eating with your parents, reading an old book that you bought years ago and never read, going through your photo albums and realizing how beautiful your mom was on her wedding day, binge watching a web series with your sibling. This time you got to spend with your family was very refresh...

In 1903, two crazy guys had invented the and flew the world’s first powered and controlled airplane. They risked their lives and gifted the world aviation, they gifted mankind wings to fly. 4500 BC,  in a dark cave, a man had invented wheel. And the world was never the same. In late 1930s, a man left his fortunes and family to pursue a dream, knowing he would never be able to return home. A dream to free a nation. They had one life. Just like you and me. A lot of courageous people in past have made the greatest of the discoveries and genius of the innovations possible by risking their lives. Some even died fighting the religion, which hunted them for inventing some of the important gifts to mankind.  If only we could hold our future and treat it as preciously as they did. World has become smaller, when a man invented the wheel.  World has become brighter, when a man invented the bulb.  World has become selfish, when a man invented cu...
