Me and not them
It all began with your birth and it will end with you. So what are you thinking, are you game for it? Actually the thing is that nobody lets you be your real self. Everybody see you as someone who might be closer to you but not you. You can't stop them thinking or imagining you as someone, you are not, because they too are the victims of the same situation or they too have undergone the same process. The day we are born the first infliction is the name. you are named as someone, whom you don't know when you are newborn or may not like the name when you are old enough to understand the nomenclature thing. when you are a month older or so you are forced to learn the walking thing or recognising persons against your will and your comfort. Mother will ask you to call you Mama/Mother/Maa etc. as she has been taught to call her mother since her birth. same is true for the father. Again she / he is toeing the same line as her Mother/ Father or her/ his contemporaries have done and felt. Mother and Father doesn't even want her/ his child to call anything other than the usual mother/ father stuff, she or he want them to call her/him. But by the time you are in your element it all has been ingrained in you. when you enter the school first thing they ask you to learn is mug up the alphabets and numbers. From then on you start taking thing as they are made to appear, as you become part of the so-called system, where you do everything the way you are expected to do and when you don't, you are an outlaw or a rebel. But again these days rebel and outlaw images are also being copied because suddenly they have become cult figures. So here too things have undergone the same old way, with people mindlessly trying rather forcing themselves to become someone they are not or they don't want to become from within.
