Aspirations

I followed many persons in my life, sometimes aspiring to be like themselves, sometimes out of respect, and many a times just to be in their shoes to see the world from their eyes. But i couldn't be like some one else for a long time. After all, one starts feeling dejected and lonely while pretending to be someone else and yet trying hard to prove his/her own unique identity in this world.

This is where it gets complicated. Just like everyone else, i too began the tedious walk on the same footprints just like everyone else did in past. When people started comparing me with the person, whom i had admired so far, the mission was accomplished. There were no proud moments after that, and none was left to accomplish. Then i moved ahead in my life and came across another such person and the history repeated itself again.

Perhaps that is what many would call a 'life'. But it shouldn't end just imitating another personality till your last breath. Life is all about finding your own unique identity, doesn't matter how boring it may seem, it matters least how unproductive or wasteful it may appear. But each one of us has something special, which no one else owns in this whole wide world. And life is all about finding that trait of yours, which sets you stand apart from the crowd. Then it may be something as sweet as becoming a singer or becoming a batsman who can time his cover drives second to none in this world.
