Want a cup
of coffee? Asked his colleague looking at him from over the laptop.He reacted
by saying “no”,looking again at the screen where he was trying to watch the
balance sheets of the company he worked for.
He looked
very robotic and almost like out of emotions,like a non human! This 9 to 5 job
which was practically 8 to 7 sometimes 7:30,thanks to the Bangalore traffic,was
taking a toll on him.
The account
being credited with x number of amount each month had taken away almost
everything from him.He would often think about quitting his job but food on his
table daily would stop him from doing so.What would he do?if he
quits?Read?Write? Where can he find a place that would provide him with money
to do so?
He never did
any such learning in order to write something professional nor was he aware
that he is exceptionally good in it until one day he was appreciated by one of
his teacherin college and then his friends.It was the last year of college and
switching career was not an option now though he would in a basic non
professional format daily,he would write he feels,things he wish to do and
would be more interesting to read than just a dairy entry still he opted for
this job because he was too scared to go some other way than this.Also,it
didn’t had the promise of of giving 2 square meals daily.
He had given
into the hopes of becoming a writer one day.
But as the
saying goes by “there’s light after the darkest hour of night”, when he had
buried the dreams his vision had once seen a ray of rainbow lit into his life.
One of his
friends advised him to apply for an online course in content writing.Firstly,he
waved the idea saying he didn’t had time even for that but the idea got stuck
in his mind for days and he managed to search for it and enrolled in one such
online course.
It seemed
tough in the beginning but got his way through the 4th week.Now days
were much happier blooming and satisfactory.
All was fine
until the next 6 months.
As soon as
the course was over,he was back to his routine office life as he couldn’t find
a job in the writing field.
Things
started to sink in again when he got an idea of curating his own articles and
post it somewhere over the social platform.
He did that
till 3 months again..but this time also there was no positive response for him.
He wondered
if his dad was right and he should turn over to his job with whole heart.
The next
morning he woke up and decided to go for a walk,there he met one of his old
classmates and she told him that she had read his articles and really liked
him.This time he wasn’t happy but confused as to what plan did the destiny had?
He told her
not to give any suggestions to him as he has already have put his hands into
lot of creative courses but nothing really helped,to which she replied that she
was going to ask him to write his own book!
He got
surprised and asked if she saw that much calibre in him and she replied with a
huge smile and the card of the publications she worked for!
He decided
to go for a final toss and left his job to give full attention to his upcoming
book.
Slowly and
Steadily,he started with lines then paragraphs soon a page and later more than
100 pages!
He got his
book published with the help of her dear friend which was a roller coaster indeed
but in the end of it he had his own book with his signs on it.
Now,he was
called upon for workshops and even to meet school students to aspire them,like
really?
A man who
had lost all hopes,dreams and aspirations was now inspiring lives!?
Maybe
because,yes he was a tortoise but not a loser.The only thing which was not in
his life was a push and continuous pushes from someone actually.
In life,everybody
needs a bunch of people to be happy and successful.No matter how big of a loner
you are there is a time when you need people to breathe.
There is
always someone’s hand in your success,rewards and awards…never let those
buddies go away for you need them in life whenever it throws you in a well so
that they can find a rope and help you come out of it!
