Log Kya Kahenge! [What Will People Say!]

I want to start a food kart outside my home but Log Kya Kahenge? What Will People Say? I want to re-marry at 55 years of age but again, Log Kya Kahenge? What Will People Say? I do not identify as the gender I was born with. I want to announce what I truly am, but Log Kya Kahenge? What Will People Say?

This is a never-ending vicious cycle. We all know the answer to this question: If we think what people are supposed to, what will they actually think about? But how many of us have overcome this obstacle?

Let’s talk about something holding us back for too long: “Log Kya Kahenge” or “What will people say?” Seriously, who cares? It’s high time we break free from the clutches of societal expectations. Let’s start living life on our own terms. Let’s ditch the fear of judgment and embrace our true selves, quirks and all!

Since we were knee-high, we’ve been brainwashed into seeking approval and fitting into the cookie-cutter mould of what society deems acceptable. We’re told to follow the herd, avoid rocking the boat, and God forbid we do anything that might invite criticism or raised eyebrows.

Well, guess what? Living by “Log Kya Kahenge” is a one-way ticket to a life half-lived, and I, for one, am not signing up for that nonsense.

This idea of caring so much about what other people think is exhausting. It keeps us constantly on edge, questioning our every move, and dampening our spirit. We become prisoners of the opinions of others, forever seeking external validation and sacrificing our dreams and desires in the process.

But let me tell you something: your happiness and fulfilment matter more than the fleeting judgments of people who probably don’t even know the real you.

Breaking free from this vicious cycle starts with a dose of self-reflection. Take a moment to look deep within yourself and figure out what truly matters to you. What lights your soul on fire? What makes you feel alive? Forget about what Aunt Sharmaji or Uncle Verma might think. This is about your own happiness, so embrace it fiercely and unapologetically.

Surrounding yourself with a tribe of supportive individuals is crucial. Find those who uplift and encourage you to be your authentic self. These people will have your back when you decide to chase your wildest dreams. They won’t bat an eyelid when you do something out of the ordinary or unconventional. Trust me, you’ll feel liberated in their company.

Now, let’s talk about confidence, my friend. Building self-confidence is like flexing a muscle. Celebrate your victories, no matter how small they may seem. Did you finally muster the courage to start that painting class you’ve always wanted to try?

Give yourself a pat on the back! Believe in your abilities and trust your own judgment. Remember, you’re capable of incredible things, and the only person who needs to believe it is you.

Being assertive is another ingredient in this recipe for breaking free. Speak up, my friend! Express your opinions, needs, and desires without fear of judgment. Set your boundaries and stand up for what you believe in. You’ll be surprised at the respect you gain when you unapologetically voice your truth. It’s empowering, trust me.

Let’s address the elephant in the room: failure. Failure is not the end of the world, despite what “Log Kya Kahenge” might make you believe. Failure is simply a stepping stone to success, a lesson to be learned. Embrace it! Don’t let the fear of judgment stop you from taking risks and exploring new paths. Failure is inevitable, but regret is avoidable.

As we embark on this journey of self-discovery and liberation, let’s also do our part in educating others. Challenge societal norms and broaden minds. Let’s share your experiences and show others that it’s okay to be different, to go against the grain.
By embracing your desires, you’re empowering yourself. Also, you are inspiring others to embrace their uniqueness.

So, my friends, it’s time to say a big “screw you” to “Log Kya Kahenge” and embrace the life we truly want. Let’s redefine success and happiness on our own terms. Let’s celebrate our individuality, quirks, and passions.

Together, we can create a world where judgment takes a backseat and authenticity reigns supreme. Trust me, the freedom you’ll find on the other side is worth every raised eyebrow and wagging tongue. Cheers to living life unapologetically!
