NEW IDENTITIES ----- ACCEPT THEM OR REJECT THEM THEY DO TAKE THEIR PLACE

Its been 10 years now. 10 years since I had taken that one decision of completely disrespecting my talents, my dreams, and my skills and holding hands with this life. I was always under the impression that every man has a purpose on this earth and mine was to entertain. I was an entertainer as everyone around puts it. People, friends, teachers everyone thought I would turn out to be a huge theater personality. But,my parents thought on the contrary. Belonging to a business class I was always told I should be focussed on becoming a business class, I should always think of higher education in either medical, finance, marketing, or any other such behind the desk professional field. So, I took the decision of being one of these.
At the age of 14 I had promised myself I would never give up to this idiotic so called professional world. But, at that very age I also did break this promise. I had forgotten I had no choice of my own then, neither do I have today. Every single day I use to look into the mirror and the mirror use to look back at me calling me names like "MURDERER" I always thought to myself am I really killing myself.
2011, I am into a field of sales, retail sales to be precise. I enjoy this work of mine. I get to know new people, get to learn a lot new things. I think I have suddenly developed a new personality. Today, when I turn around to look at my old identity of an entertainer I see myself no where. I guess this new identity has taken its place in my life. Today, I don't feel sad. Today, the mirror has given up calling me names as it use to do before. Today, I am a business man. This is what the world wanted me to be. This is what may be I was destined to be. I am not sad today. I am happy in fact. Today is my day to rejoice. Guys, life does change a lot in us but it is on us to accept it or reject it. Today, I have learnt to accept what I am and I am really happy. But this never means my old identity is dead and gone. It is just round the corner waiting for its turn to come. Until then I will give the world what it wants .................I still believe never be the slave of your destiny make your destiny your slave.......SIGNING OFF THE MIRACLE MAKER

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR THEORY

Rear View Mirror  “Kunal, it is not easy to get over a divorce. I spent 2 years with him and I cannot just forget him in an instance. Would you be able to forget someone you loved, so easily?” I was asked this question by a friend who had just gone through a divorce proceeding and was now sitting with me discussing how difficult it is for her to get over her ex-husband. I often come across broken relationships and one common thing I find in them is that they all have the pain of forgetting the moments, the beautiful moments. I cannot say I do not understand the pain and we all have to become insensitive, after all, I have been a victim to this pain. However, we have to live with it and find a solution to it. Until date, I was not able to find an easy way to put to it to people, how to forget your ex. However, today, the friend of mine had given me the opportunity to invent a new way of getting across my point to people. It is just very simple actually. The answer was right in m

The Spectacle Theory

The Spectacle Theory Since the past few months I have been on a roller coaster ride in my own life. Even though, I have always faced and handled complexities in life with a lot of maturity and peace of mind, this time it was a massive blow from life. However, every human has to face life alone and every human has the ability to transform himself or herself into a better person. Hope, Love and total faith in one’s dreams can make miracles happen. I had stopped taking counseling cases, also had taken a break from writing, I was introspecting and improving my own inner strength and confidence. In this time friends do play a very important role, I was at a friend’s place when this incident took place. It was something so simple yet so amazing that I could not resist writing it. I was with my friend, standing in the balcony of his bungalow. We were just chit chatting with each other about normal stuff. “Kunal seriously man I am so tensed about my future. I just don’t know how things

For the Namesake......

For the Namesake…. At the beginning of the article I was very confused as to what title shall I give it but then I realized that titles are just for the namesake. The irony is that this title even justifies the context of my write up. I was sitting outside this huge temple situated in the hills somewhere around Mumbai. I will not disclose the exact location as I do not want to hurt the sentimental and religious values of any human being. So coming back to the point, I was sitting in this huge temple veranda made by some very famous business man of our religion as he was directed by some very famous monk of our religion. The place was too huge. I was sitting outside and enjoying the natural view of the place around. I was happy listening to chirping of birds. It was refreshing. When the soul is refreshed it automatically has a pleasant smile on the face and the mind has pleasant thoughts. As I was enjoying this refreshing experience and feeling energized I saw a monk coming
