I tend to talk a lot.. but not to all.. to people I like a lot..
I write.. not poems.. not fiction.. but just those stupid random thoughts of mine being written down when I feel that it is absolutely necessary..
But if you ask me something like "Then why should we read your posts which 'll be utter nonsense as you yourself has mentioned?? ".. I certainly will go speechless..
Hence, I decided..
It is better not to invite people to a world of boredom .. Or rather, drive them to madness.. Like how I am doing now..
Still.. I can argue that I can always exercise my freedom of expression..
You might tell me.. "Oh ya ?? Ok you can do that.. But why should I fall a prey to your meaningless; utter nonsensical perceptions of the world or may be the trivial personal issues of yours.. "
So I felt that it is better to tell you about some favourite topics of mine - movies and psychiatry; which I hope will be interesting to you..

THE STUDENT'S PRAYER

Don’t impose on me what you know,

I want to explore the unknown

And be the source of my own discoveries.

Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.

The world of your truth can be my limitation;

Your wisdom my negation.

Don’t instruct me; let’s walk together.

Let my richness begin where yours ends.

Show me so that I can stand

On your shoulders.

Reveal yourself so that I can be

Something different.

You believe that every human being

Can love and create.

I understand, then, your fear

When I ask you to live according to your wisdom.

You will not know who I am

By listening to yourself.

Don’t instruct me; let me be.

Your failure is that I be identical to you.”
