When I Google’d myself!
One fine day, I had a sudden urge to Google my name, and I did!
To my happiness, I found my profile on various websites catering to online medical consultations!
But to my disappointment, I couldn’t find my professional 'Instagram' page, and I think that’s sad, 'cause it needs love and recognition and acknowledgement and support!
To my pride, I found my multiple scientific publications in medical journals!
But to my sorrow, I couldn’t find my happiness, radiating patience and serenity - my backbones for life!
To my amazement, I found my decade old merit list!
But to my dismay, I couldn’t find my dreams and aspirations and goals - all those achievements that’ve been my magnum opus in the past decade!
To my intense pleasure, I found my 'Medium' account profile! Ooh lala! That's amazing, 'cause I'm sure it'll give my writing career a massive boost!
To my ecstasy, I found my 'Pinterest' account, which is sadly, in dire need of love and affection and appreciation!
But to my regret, I couldn’t find my physical transformation story. How I wish that to be on the web, for I know it would’ve amazed a huge flock and inspired more than a million people!
To my surprise, I found my 'Linkedin' profile, of which I had no idea!
To my awareness, I found my 'Instagram' profile (personal), of which I was proud!
But to my sadness, I didn’t find my mental transformation story. I think people should know and understand the fact that it requires a lot of conscious effort and energy to be an ambivert from an introvert, to learn to socialise and make contacts, to learn patience and calmness, and to let go of the urge to impulsively bark at people!
And that day, I realised that, all that is so very innate to me and defines me as a person, is actually missing on the web.
I understood that the 'real' me was missing somehow - just on the web, because it's actually right here, sitting and writing this!
What I was trying to find on the web, was not 'me', but the external reality that I had created for myself - the version that people liked and adored!
The raw version, the core of my existence - was what made me, 'me'! And that I found in my conscience, when I reflected on a deeper plane!
The web, the media - are just the shell!
The sweet and tender coconut water is something that isn't seen on the exterior, yet that's what matters, and all that counts!
Ditch the media, reflect inside, accept your flaws and work through the solutions - for a happy and content life!
