Self-exploration

 I joined an organization few years ago. They used to conduct various awareness programs .   One such program was conducted on Constitution Day (26th November, 2017) In this we all were divided into 4-5 groups of 8-9 people each. We were given a task of spreading awareness related to various Fundamental duties and Fundamental rights. Everyone was supposed to use a unique way to do so. (Nukkad natak, play etc.) I was very excited for this. I first time took part in such an activity. I was little nervous and was confident at the same time because I thought that so many people are there in the group, I will just follow what they say and I don’t have to do much.   (And deep inside my heart I knew that I am not capable of initiating such activities or tasks as I was very under confident and timid back then. )   In our team, two were Australian volunteers rest were Indians.   So....            We all were having a casual talk and were waiting for one of our group member .

Gone are the days when we used to feel free,  Now we all are caged in our own prejudiced and hypocrite mindset, We regard success as the ONLY way to stay happy in life.   We all think that once we are successful we will do this, we will do that.   We set boundaries for ourselves, we restrict ourselves from meeting our friends, from doing things we liked.   We think that this phase is a struggle and we have to live like a saint.   We tend to feel that we can only be successful if we are away from social media, or if we do not hang out with our friends or interact less with our family.   Though all these things helps in saving time and lets us do things, as we planned them.

Three years ago, I went on a trip.    I and my friends were always intrigued about discovering the least distinguished places in the city.   Because at such places there is always something that nobody else has explored, that's why it's not that popular!
