ME
Till today I have always written in my blog about what I think....
Probably today I will try to find out why I think the way I do think!
I am from a middle class family with my father serving in the Indian Army and mother who is a school teacher.
All through my childhood I was always around people who were from the army background and thus got influenced by their way of looking at things. Also due to the fact that we moved every 2-3 years, I never any long term friends. Thus, I kept meeting new people (which I did not like) and thus I drew a line to keep me safe (from everyone). Probably that made me very introvert, and I had no real point of view about anything.
And then college happened!
For the first time in my life I was away from the protective care of my parents and no one to guide me. There I learnt the most important aspects of life... and probably what is life. I met people there who I can call true friends and with whom I could discuss things that I probably couldn't do with myself. But at the same time I met people who one needs to be careful of and got cheated or let down by people I trusted. And these things made me stronger... It taught me who to be friends with and who not. Who to trust and who to be careful of. What others think and why! And so on. Also I became free :) For the first time I was no longer afraid of people. I could talk freely and share some of my thoughts freely and not care about what they would think about it. So I redrew the line. And as this line makes me feel protected and although I couldn't remove my safe line, I shifted the boundary that I still never cross.
So the way I think is probably due to the way things have happened in my life and most prominent among them is no doubt, college years. The years i cherish and will always be indebted of... for life!
