A guy fed up with trivial competitions, trivial success stories of trivial men and women simply trying to find happiness in even the smallest thing done.
After 19 years of rigorous studying, as is the case with most of the middle-class students and faring well in numerous useless competitions, I was really satisfied with the way life has turned out. Had two job offers in core engineering from the ”so-called great MNC’s.”
So, I can say, I was heading towards a ‘Life ban gayi’ state ( a good life ) from society’s perspective.
But then, unfolded a long-overdue health catastrophe threatening my independent existence. Though I overcame it somehow, it had left me with some serious lessons.
I realized how I had been losing parts of myself by:
- letting society tell me what to do and what not to do
- Starving for perfection.
- not living in the moment.
- faring in useless competition.
- inhibiting my emotions.
- wasting time on social media
- worrying over manufactured thoughts.
- giving importance to trivial things.
And the most important one,
Life is much more than striving to work in a small company on a small stone floating somewhere in an infinite space.
So, this time I decided not to go with the flow, and to begin with I got off the bandwagon by declining both the job offers and started living my way of life- a less trapped one and a more happy one
