#WhenIwas15

LinkedIn has hosted a writing challenge on its fifteenth anniversary, and here is a reproduction of my take.

#WhenIwas15 I thought the world was a fair place, and the best person always wins

‘Best’ at what yet remains a mystery, as overt and covert parameters always differ.

#WhenIwas15 I was given a framework for success and happiness

I grew up to realize that life happens outside frameworks. Success and happiness do not necessarily lead to one another.

#WhenIwas15 I wanted to be an author

The internet made me one, but left me struggling with multiple formats and platforms.

#WhenIwas15, I thought pain is physical and one needs medicines to get cured

I grew up in a world, where pain is more mental/emotional than physical, and people seek anaesthetics in different forms.

#WhenIwas15 I thought being a doctor will empower me to relieve people of physical pain

I did not become one, but I am happy empowering people to resolve different pains.
