Conformity is a major building block of the giant superstructure of Normal. Normal keeps the engines of the human structures of society, culture and politics, oiled and running. Those who stick their necks out and decide to create their own path and walk or even better, sprint on it, are not ‘normal’. On the other hand, conformity is the way to go for the most because it ensures survival. The jagged edges of exceptional do not bruise their inner child, who is scared as it is. Fear ensures conformity and courage challenges it. Courage leads to extreme successes and failures and many times failures are the stepping stones for success and vice- versa. Success is like walking a rope above the ocean of conformity. This is so because, success thrives on exceptions and challenges. Success needs its own path. Do you still want to be normal?

Light
Feel light and float better
grab each strand of positive energy
and fill the heart and body
and soul
Float free
Hope
A little rainy
a little windy
the day has a promise
as it trundles along
on the wings of hope
Din
In the constant clamour
and the din,
the voices of reason are stifled.
The helpless voices on the periphery
can’t even reach
the windows of their homes.
Float free
Float free!
That’s the dream.
But the chains are embedded in the skin.
