I Walk Alone

No this is not the Greenday song its just some basic facts about what life has taught me over the years. This is all about what life means to me right now.
Well I walk alone. This has been the story of my life. Like everybody's school life, my life had all the fun, studies and friends that one has in school life. And then come the great Indian competitive life of getting into IIT's AIIMS and your life starts to shape in ways you didnt imagine before. You come across people who are so very different from what you expect of them.

This cruel world is waiting to bite you, always ready to pull your leg, the moment you trust them.
you meet people who pretend to be nice to you, who pretend to care for you but when the time comes they ditch you and behave as if they dont have anything to do with you. People you trust say things behind your back, they ridicule you, they despise you but the moment you are in front of them, they are these sweet-faced, ever-smiling fellows.

My experience of hostel and college life (about 5 Years) has taught me that there are very few people who accept you the way you come. Most friendships have strings attached to them. Very few people give you space and understand your feelings. Its in the company of these friends that you feel secure and relax otherwise you just keep on walking alone. Every eye that watches you, cuts through you as if it is blaming you for something, asking you for something and you pretend that it doesnt bothers you but deep down you hate all this. This is where I have come to realize that you just have to walk alone, keep your few good friends close and take the world as it comes. Dont worry what people have to say, dont think too much about what you should do to make people happy, because in the end it all comes down to you and just you.

Walk alone friends for it is the only way you can achieve your goal.

there are a very few people in this world who have maintained their thoughts over the years and you are obviously one of them. in fact you have not only maintained but have shown the people how much right you are. this article seems to be directly from your heart. i really loved this one and think its truly inspiring.........
