First Break All The Rules

Issue 32 | 11th August 2024

Aaj aapko apne baare mein ek baat batata hu!

I was a very obedient child. Jo ghar waale, School waale duniya waale kehte the wohi karta tha. Mujhe lagta tha ki duniya aise hi chalti hai.

Par 2010 mein I realised ki Zindagi ka maza nahi aa raha. Main woh sab kar raha hu jo baaki kar rahe hai, Par I’m not AS HAPPY as them.

And somehow, dimaag mein aaya ki Tikku, you have lived your life according to society. Ab woh kar jo tu chahta hai. 

When you are already at ground Zero, then na zyada niche girne ka chance hai aur na hi niche girne ka zyada dard hoga. 

Tabhi maine kahi par yeh suna:

“Ek baar ek Banda Bhagwaan ke paas jaata hai aur bolta hai ki Bhagwaan, Zindagi ka maza nahi aa rha. Kya karu?”

Bhagwaan Replies “Beta, Ab tak tune woh kiya jo tu chahta tha, Hua woh jo mai chahta hu, Ab tu woh kar jo mai chahta hu aur tumhe woh milega jo tu chahta hai”

Bas yeh Baat dil ko lag gayi and maine apni zindagi ki Gaari Apne style mein chalani shuru kar di.

Uske thore din baad I was at DaryaGanj Sunday Book Market. Wahaan ek book dekhi pattri par. The title attracted me. It said, “First Break All the Rules” Maine ussi time Pachaas rupaye dekar book khareed li. I have never opened the book par uske Title ne hi mujhe uss book ki kayi hazaro guna value de di. Bas Uss din se I stopped following RULES. Rules that Society has created for us. 

Uske kuch din baad, I was reading about Steve Jobs. And tab unka yeh quote parra: 

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently, they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world are the ones who do.”

Mujhe laga yeh to meri baat ho rahi hai. Yeh to mai hu. 35 saal ki Zindagi jeene ke baad mujhe pata chala ki mai kaun hu, Kya hu, Kya karna chahta hu aur maine bas uss raaste par chalna shuru kar diya jo sunsaan tha, Anjaan tha, Par lag rha tha ki isme Sukoon hai. 

Mai aapko Sunday subah gyaan dene nahi aaya, bas yeh kehne aaya hu ki if you resonate 30% with this, then do ask yourself. Kya mein Sahi raaste ja rha hu? Kya Maine apni manzil khud chuni hai ya mein Samaaj ki banayi hui manzil ki taraf aakhein bandh kar ke daurr rha hu?

If you want to ask or tell me something, then I am on [email protected].
