Characters: BM

What if,

running away from realities of life becomes a habit?

You might start to act isolated,

or

You might end up becoming that guy,

Who comes across as an outright extrovert,

Living one’s life on the go,

Not caring about other’s emotions,

Not wanting to indulge in any serious relationship for the fear of getting hurt,

and

Moving all over the place,

for you are not able to find peace anywhere,

no matter where you end up going.

For the world,

you come across as a fun character,

who is full of energy,

who tends to become the centre of attention of all parties and get togethers,

yet,

in your heart and mind, you end up being lonely to the core,

wishing that a day would come when you would finally be able to rest in peace,

if not literally,

at least in someone’s arms.

Such is the core of what BM, Brownian motion, one of the protagonist of my upcoming novel, consists of.

More to follow soon!

The need to Speak Up?

Imagine you are in a gathering full of people,

All kinds, 

Few you know,

Few acquaintances,

Few wanna be’s,

And then there is you, the quintessential introvert,

Who speak up when spoken to,

Who doesn’t brag about anything and everything in this world, 

Who don’t feel the constant need to be at the center of everything,

Yet

You are expected to, 

Participate,

People come to you every time they see you,

Asking:

Are you alright?

Are you enjoying yourself?

Why don’t you join us?

And then you start questioning the very persona that you are?

Begin to have doubts if something is seriously wrong with you, 

Feeling pressured into speaking something for the heck of it,

To feel accepted,

To demonstrate your existence,

And 

Then you choose to just leave, 

Wondering

Why can’t you be accepted as it is? 

Why the world expects you to behave in a certain manner?

For such, let me tell you, it’s alright to just be,

For the need to speak shouldn’t be the guiding force in your life, 

For acceptance is more beautiful than complying to some random norm, 

For being different is what makes life so beautiful and worth living. 

So be who you are,

For the world will come to cherish your being sooner or later.
