00:00Remember class 6? You were told, study hard, get good marks. Why? So your parents
00:05would boast to neighbors and relatives. And when you didn't study, carrots were
00:10dangled. Do well and we'll buy you that toy. Then came class 10, codes. The story
00:16shifted. These marks will matter in job interviews. So you bent your back,
00:21memorized more textbooks. Then class 12, critical year, entrance exams. Your future
00:27depends on this. So again, you slobbed, exhausted and afraid. And now you want
00:33to extend the same stale story. Just add another dreary chapter to the same
00:39predictable script. You have been a machine all your life. Chasing numbers, marks,
00:45percentages, ranks. And you think it will stop? It never does. Soon the numbers
00:50become salary, appraisals, and then come LinkedIn connections, then promotions and
00:56designations. Or an ambitious startup. So you can chase even bigger numbers. Then
01:02you build a house, start a family, planned retirement. All on pre-decided lines. All
01:09equally uninspired. If the same story is being stretched like stale dough, tell me
01:16what is the difference between that class 6 child and this seasoned professional?
01:22Where is the real growth? Where is the movement? Where is the learning? Where is the inner
01:28evolution? Are you really going ahead or just running in circles? Enacting the same
01:35script on different stages. At one point you are a child, then you became a teenager, then
01:40a young man or woman, then a professional, then a husband or wife, then a mother or father,
01:45different labels, different costumes, different stages, but the same old script running underneath.
01:52And none of it really written by you. You are acting. But do you even know why there is action?
01:59You are moving. But do you know where you are going? You are alive. But are you awake? Or are
02:05you just
02:06sleepwalking through life, repeating an old story that was never yours to begin with? Do you really know
02:12who you are? Find out.
