As everyone else I came crying into this world. I stayed with my parents till I learnt ABCDE... As always someone had decided that I will attend the best English medium school in the neighbouring city... and the crowd is always right...
And I knew that there are Gods .. with capital G's whom we should fear.... I had many in our house... I was told that they are all powerful and I should pray to them.... I did so.. to each one of them...I wonder who told me that...
How much ever I hated school I was forced to attend it...Someone told me that it's cool to stand first in class... and then I mugged and mugged... day in and day out... I look back and see my result sheets now... my class mates must have hated me like anything... may be it was that someone.... and that somene was always right...
And then there were girls... some very cute.. and some not very cute.. I enetered the sixth grade...and our maam told us that girls and boys should sit separately.... I wondered for many years what made her do that..Some one told me that I should nt be talking much to girls... And that someone was always right....
I entered high school and I liked soccer... and I wanted to be in the school team.... that someone yet again told me that I had to stop playing and keep studying..... the next year I stopped playing... And I kept seeing the # 1 on my grade sheet... That someone was right again.....
I dreamed of doing Arts.......and the crowd rightly decided that I should study science.... someone told me that Arts was not cool enough for a guy like me... That year I worked the most....and I was almost at the top..... I was convinced by now..... That someone is always right again....
The crowd had decided that I will be a great doctor...But for once the lazy me took the other road... I had thought that the crowd is always right.... For once I wanted to be me... And I was never the same again..
I am here to live new stories....... Not to repeat any..
