Log kya kahenge?

We live in a socially dependant state where maintaining the relation of a person to another is considered to be important so that they can help each other out whenever required. However, being able to accept other people or invite suggestions or advice, is one thing but being insecure about the same people around you, is another and hardly acceptable.

To walk with the society, the individuals perhaps are lost away from their identity not realizing that “the people” will comment on, if they see anything out of their box because they either would have never thought about it or did not have dared to do it. The famous celebrities and YouTubers and tiktokers must have encountered a million critiques before reaching the platform they have achieved or even at this moment, nobody is liked by all, there will always be someone to criticize. I took the example of those famous celebrities and everyone because a very long time ago, it was not seen to be as a professional field in comparison to being a doctor, engineer or a lawyer, as it is acknowledged today and that has been made possible because of those who did not care about “log Kya kahenge”.

“Log Kya kahenge” meaning “what will people say” is the least bothered thought when you start working out of your comfort zone to achieve something extraordinary. Perhaps it is very important to stop thinking of what people will think of you because “the people” don’t become successful by doing the ordinary. When Einstein must be working on inventing the single bulb while failing 100 times, I am sure most of his friends and family would have told him to stop attempting and try something else because it is easy for people to point mistakes than appreciate the hard work or the progress of an individual.

If I were to be happy, I must stop thinking about what people will say, because whatever people say, it shouldn’t matter. Those people are nobody to judge you or authorize you with any kind of permission to what to do or what not to do.

My friend says there are two ways to avoid giving your ears to what people say. When people voice out their opinion about you which may not be much worth listening to, you can either be an “old television remote” or use the strategy to “act but not react”. The First solution of being like “an old television remote” means that whenever you try changing a channel on the television, being so adamant, it doesn’t change. Similarly, one doesn’t need to care how many buttons the people are pressing, what are they talking about, just do what you want to do, you don’t need to change for anyone. Second, “Act but do not react” means that act according to the situation and let that speak for you rather than reacting to what they have said, because reacting will only make it bigger and messier.

Dance on the streets, as you may please.

Laugh anywhere, with no fear

Talk to anyone, without any restriction.

Love anything, with or without attached strings.

Because It is your life and you have to live,

Do not be afraid to fight for your right.

Don’t let people get on your nerve,

Sit tight and enjoy the life you deserve.

Ps: Cheers to a new year and giving no damn about “Log Kya Kahenhge”.
