LIFE ITS ILLUSIONS AND FALLACIES {PART 1}
It’s a bit realistic.
“India where people are given right to speech but not free way to behave and explore the world where in other parts of the world, students are given the liberty to get out of their own houses and make some money already within the age of 18. But in India parents are expected their children to behave like children and adults at the same time and to behave according to their mood which is pathetic if you ask me.
Just like my life, Hi I’m Karthik and I’m a jobless person in front of the outer world but I’m fully equipped and ready to get on the field and win the chicken dinner in the PUBG match. I live in a world of being able to play video games in real life is considered as a crime and watching the videos of the YouTubers who are playing games on live streams is even bigger crime for a teenager.
I want to be and play like them which I enjoy and yes of course, I have a degree in computers but that is not sufficient for the society members who will constantly taunt just by asking the simple question “And son, what’s next?” Being in 20’s and confused is a common situation and a common attitude and if I have to answer about not being confused in 20’s then I would say that he/she is going to end up like many others in the society who are just doing the job for paying their life-chore bills.
Apart from gaming, I like music and I write some poems and read a lot of books too and being creative is also not sufficient for my parents. They want me to do a professional job just like holding a laptop bag, wearing a 3 piece suit every-time I go to office. They just want the appearance to be appealing for them which makes me feel pathetic about myself when they just imagine the view of success is just that and not being able to contribute to the society and being able to change the country.”

“At least he is given the liberty of watching the gaming videos of his own choice, which is hard for me in my house. Hey, this is Shruthi, who is just a 21-year girl facing the life and dealing the constant taunts and getting marriage threats and emotional blackmails from my own family.
Yeah, I do have a degree in the IT industry, but which isn’t enough for me to get married actually it is more than required for getting married and I’m age barred for getting married of course in my parents’ eyes and society who ask one single question which makes me boil the blood in my arteries is that, “Yeah daughter, when are we going to eat the main dinner of your big day?”
We are living in the 21st century, India has got freedom and completed a diamond jubilee of it, but this question never gets old. The constant control of the parents and the society who are looking at me are traumatizing and I wish at least in future generations, our daughters shouldn’t feel these questions being asked to them in front of the bare audience (mainly parents and please don’t give them any new ideas).
“Thinking what to wear while going out, whether it’s too showing or too short or too tight, oh no, this aunt have seen me wearing this dress, my mom won’t agree buying me this dress, I can’t stay up late, I can’t talk to mobile for long, I can’t have a lot of jeans in my wardrobe, I can’t go to abroad for higher studies and I shouldn’t trust others who are going there…” Having the constant controlling and pressure without remorse and without any kindness the decisions are being made and not given a second chance to get the life together the way I wanted too.”
-
Both:
“We are here speaking our both minds but most of our generation have this traumatizing events in their life. We hear you we listen to you but having the guts to get-up again is what makes you different and will always be a best time ever just for standing up for yourself when no one is there with you, and which is very important when you are really staying in the place like INDIA.”
-
Applause were everywhere from the college, thinking that this is fiction and was written for the sake of an entertainment show, but here these both are covering and wiping their tears down imagining their life, while getting down the backstage through steps.
The instant pull between both was started while they were practicing for the speech just before the real show but they both ignored the feeling because the live speech was more important.
“Hey, it was a good speech I didn’t know that you could change the words on spot.” A message by Shruthi popped on the screen of Karthik.
Karthik was busy in learning about the investments in STOCKS and NIFTY in which most of the Indians are scared to even think whether the invested money will be returned, and the constant fear of losing money makes them to be least interested in the most exciting and growing aspect in India.
But this was a disappointing situation for Shruthi where she thought that she would connect with him from both sides and may be a friendship thought would feel good with him. To her disguise, Karthik was online and was asking some senior who has a strong base in investments and stocks to help him out. Shruthi was outraged and decided to make herself distant to him and possibly never talk to him too.
Karthik after all the research he borrowed some money from his friends and some from his dad and some were his own savings and invested them in one of the fraud apps without knowingly and he hoped that it will work for him, and he’ll be rich one day.
