The Miss Fit

Today I am again stuck in the memory lane not sure why but then, getting the flashback of all the experiences which somehow made me realize I was a missfit in that whole setup. Those were my failed attempts of trying to seek validations from family, so-called friends, teachers, etc. A missfit as I can put is somone who is lucky by being in right place with wrong people, this happened to me a lot until I learnt to stay away. 

Family: My family name is famous in my town but, I personally don't have this as my direct legacy as my grandfather was a modest banker. So, there has always been a financial gap which keeps getting wider with each passing generation. Howsoever, you try and ignore that factor, it keeps popping up in discussions, social setup and knowingly or unknowingly starts to creep in the behavior too. That said, I and my family are proud of what we have achieved and content in our lives, as long as the "family" does not mess up by handing over such experiences on the platter which makes me consider I am a missfit.

So-called Friends: God has helped me with such amazing experiences with people whom I have addressed as friends. I say this because it is those experiences I take as life lessons and make sure I put it to practice in my professional career. Attempts at seeking validation from friends has taught me perseverance. Staying positive in the most dire circumstances is also due to the friends. So, thank you all for that from the bottom of my heart.

Teachers: Missfit because I was in a school which cared only for wannabe doctors and engineers. If someone chose a different path then that person was casted out in front of the whole class. It did not make much difference as with friends I was already casted out so another nail in the coffin with teachers doing the needful. 

All the above was just to put it on paper as once out it will not keep flashing as a memory. Whoever cares to read take it with a pinch of salt.
