Teeram telisaka, unko darini marchana?
Darulu sari aina, vere teeram cherana?
Nadakalu navena? Nadichedi nenena??
Engish: Have I changed my route, after knowing the destination? or Have I reached wrong destination, despite going on the correct route? Is it my journey? Am I the one walking?

If you want to be a photographer, don’t mind taking numerous bad clicks.
If you want to be a dancer, don’t mind performing some awkward moves.
If you want to be a singer, don’t mind messing up tunes with your voice.
If you want to be a programmer, don’t mind throwing thousands of errors.
If you want to be a cricketer, don’t mind numerous misfields and mishits.
What ever profession you choose, who ever the expert you take, they all were once amature, made thousands of silly mistakes. It took years of practice and constant efforts, to make them experts.
Society always tries to define stereotypes and have constraints on one’s looks. May it be dark/fair tones, thick/thin body types, facial hairs, (there is even a useless book, that judge people’s character based on eyebrow lining).
Well, growing a beard some how forces me to think beyond stereotypes, look into people’s hearts.
The idea of hiding untill you get perfect is a fool’s game. Put yourself out there, start, practice it out loud, then you get feedback and you grow.
Interaction with a stranger, X, who traveled more than 25 major cities all over world.
Me : You seem to travel a lot. so what’s one thing you enjoy in your journeys?
X : You know, people always wear masks. At home, at school, at work… That’s nothing wrong, as they have a story and a reason behind it. But it is only during journeys, you get to see their true selfless faces.
Me : So deep!! btw, I kept a similar post in my facebook recently (Showing him one of my profile pics)
X : Well then, we both might have copied from the same source.
Interaction with a stranger, after party.
Me : You dance awesome!! I loved it.
She : Oh!! thank you. (Whispering) You know what, I’m a movie star.
Me : Really? I don’t think so.
She : In my world, I am. Don’t I?
Me : (smiling) yeah you are, in my world too. And I’m your first fan. :D
She : awww

Encounter with an young old man X in the bus today morning.
Me : hi, good morning!
X : hi, are you wishing me good morning or just saying that it’s a good morning?
Me : wishing… Hey, isn’t that Gandalf’s dialogue from Lord of the rings??
X ( smiling ) : yeah. You watch lengthy movies but lazy enough to wish properly.
Me ( smiling ) facepalm : okay! Have a Good Morning. :)
X : Thank you. You too.
