Prologue - Who am I ?

Hola !

Greetings to fellow earthly people and to the aliens who just came to earth for free wifi.

This is an introduction to my blog "My Onion Soul". Well, who am I and why this blog? 

I am a keen observer. 

I see people striving hard to find ideal jobs, good life and meet others' expectations. All that is obligatory in today's world, to do what is expected of you for your own better future. But in that struggle to achieve our goals, we forget who we really are and what we really like to do. I believe in preserving our real self. Sustaining our childhood hobbies helps us rejuvenate our self and fills us with new energy to achieve what we strive for. 

I have tried to keep my hobbies alive; they make me feel stress free and useful. Writing blog is the recent addition to my list of hobbies. This blog is my amateur attempt to the field of writing excluding the essay competitions at school and my small personal diary. My posts might not have any morals to teach you but they would take your mind off from worldly heebie-jeebies. Not being a professional writer, I expect the readers to be encouraging and not strictly judgmental. There is no particular genre of my blog. All thoughts expressed here are inspired from real life thoughts and incidents from my life. I am open to reviews and suggestions from fellow bloggers and readers.

Happy Blogging! :)

I'll be back!! (#Arnold voice)

My Onion Soul

Onions have layers. The outermost layer is for the world to see, for bearing all the hardships of life and protecting the inner rich layers. These outside rugged layers handle the heat, pressure, dirt and all such wear and tear. They also deceive the world about what’s inside.

The more we peel an onion, richer the layers get. These inner layers are the energy containing parts which contain the food, the zest of life. The more layers you remove, the closer you get to real life.

Similar to this onion is my soul – the real “me”.

I am a thinker. Thinking gives me wings and makes me fly to unknown worlds. When I am physically idle, I am constantly thinking. The practical world around me has no relation to what’s cooking in my head. I may be reading or even taking a bath and might as well be thinking about the thrill felt while trekking. So, I have this inner self which is creative, sensitive, emotional, rebellious and also funny.

I want to preserve my inner thinker from the world outside. Like the onion, I keep layers of protective sheets over it, disguising myself like any other common person. I don't want to expose my soul to the manipulative world. I might be funny or absurdly hilarious from outside but honestly some other track is playing in my mind that time. I might be chattering about some stupid stuff, but inside, I might be going through all feasible or infeasible options to help a friend who is upset.

You might be thinking I am scared of revealing my real self or I am an introvert. Why do I need to hide my inner self? Why do I have an ‘onion soul”?

Probably I have been asking this to myself a lot. I have figured out many reasons:

#BulletPointsRock

• May be I am afraid if I remove the sheets and reveal my inner thinker,people might not like me, they might find me weird and not funny as they think now.
• Fear of myself being projected as a selfish person.
• The weird me. One who is weird in every way; thoughts, emotions, desires. Weirdness is cool but not smoothly accepted in real world.
• My inner thinker considers itself as - utterly awesome. So, I am not sure if the world is ready to know “the secret ingredient”(this one is surely inspired from Kung Fu Panda but its true).

So, I think it’s actually good to have a place only for you, away from the world, even from your best buddies sometimes. That place should be preserved, a private place where I can be “me” and only “me”. A place away from social obligations and judgemental society. A place ridden of rushed decisions and based on free thoughts. My onion soul under the rugged covers.
