Take away all the expectations to be met, duties to be done and impressions to be created; strip away all the layers of baseless assumptions and fears that builds up within the confines and complexities of the human brain, and all that remains is a guy who simply wants to live, fulfill his ambitions and make a mark for himself before biting the dust!...
You might be tempted to think that these are the conceited words of a despondent, but they unequivocally aren't! I might not be closer to perfection than many of you out there, and that's totally fine because guess what? If your aims aren't laughable, then they're probably too small!...
Like many others, right from my budding days in school, all the way through higher secondary and even now in IIT, I had been struggling to break free of all the chains imposed on us by society, myths and a countless number of other things which tend to hold us back. But somehow, someway, clawing and scratching the rungs of life's ladder, I think I've finally reached that threshold, where I'm ready to break free of all these shackles!
A couple of days back, a few friends and I were just outside our college premises enjoying some hot tea, as the clock's hour hand struck the bewitching hour. Taking in the cool midnight breeze and gazing at the stars in the clear night sky, I was face to face with life's nitty-gritties. And in a flash, bleakness was replaced by chastity. As we leaned against our bikes and sipped on the tepid beverage, we could feel the ardor growing within us, abetting us to decimate all the walls confining us!...
Those few moments resurrected me as I felt reborn! And its only a matter of time before others are gripped by this overwhelming sensation too!...
