Dear Jeyamohan,
At the age of 20, I had a dream: becoming a writer like Jeyakanthan. However, as usual, I found myself compelled to pursue a technical course in order to secure employment and lead a peaceful life. “You can do whatever you want and settle in a secure financial and social status,” I was told” I became one, but it took nearly 20 years to accomplish it.
Working hard on an entirely materialistic area with people who have absolutely no taste for intellectual vigor, continuous challenges, and crises in the profession made me a flat man without any imagination or intellectual quest. I experienced a complete loss of my inner fire.
I created my own talent and ambition in that field also; otherwise, I can’t win in my job. Now I feel my life is over, and my personality is something entirely unfit for me. I feel like I am wearing a strange dress, and I am ashamed to look at myself in a mirror. I had a feeling that everything was over and I had nothing to do anymore.
Now , after watching your two videos about writing and starting a new life, I feel that nothing is too late. I can still write something; I can follow my dreams. Maybe I can’t get world recognition, but at least I can congratulate myself for my achievement. Thank you for the powerful motivation.
