I never wanted to be something extra!
I always dreamed to be an engineer!
Even when I couldn't spell the word, for everyone who asked me this question, answer was engineer!
And then one day, in school my English teacher asked me, how do you spell Engineer? And I kept mum!
She shouted at me, and that hit me hard, I started to search for word "Engineer"
But as I entered in the phase of being an engineer, I thought I never should've chosen engineering as a career.
At that point of life, I already started to write and became quite popular in class 😜
It was always special being called writer but deep down I always knew, even if I chose to write, I cannot pursue it for a long time. And the same happened, I got placed into a Service based company as many of us in that phase do and started working as a trainee (Labour). And what people might have thought of me becoming something extra, that extra was getting supressed.
These was one of the hardest times when I saw someone praising something written by me without even knowing it was written by me, and then I think that dude I'm in a wrong profession!
I should write more, I should dedicate myself to write more and be a good writer! Why can't I be? This is my passion and when I'm writing I write with my whole heart but still I can't excel my skills just because of my job!
This is the most common feeling when the Sunday is over and I'm turning towards my bed for sleep to wake up on Monday and run to office!
But then Monday to friday, I totally forget what I was thinking on Sunday night and again friday ends with depression, Saturday goes by partying and outing and sunday, again end in those thoughts!!!
That's where people die, they kill their thoughts and they kill themselves!
Human is different than animals because human can think, human can take decisions and human is capable of handling the consequences of those decisions!
And today, I am at that stage, where I learnt to have a balance between job and hobby, and by that way I can pursue both!
I remember my favorite marathi author and India's first standup comedian P. L. Deshpande said in one of his books,
You should do a job for earning and living but with that should follow something extra, art, singing, playing etc.
"Your job will help you live and that Art will teach you how to live"
