The Inception

"We cannot escape our origins, however hard we try"


The basis of all tenacity lies in the word “origin”. You however would be thinking, what is the reason for all this juggle, a person can live a consistent life and also can get away with all the problems and frustrations of life, without even getting a bruise. Yes this is true, the concept of metamorphosis is may be a universal truth, but certainly when initiation is required from within, it takes a lot of courage in itself.

Sometimes because of this classic un-alteration, we miss lot of things, lot of fun for that matter, which otherwise can form basis of something un-imaginary and un-thought off.

Let me ask you one question, how many of us always had a dream to learn to play guitar someday, almost everyone. Recall this street dog sleeping on road, it is stock-still, for one moment you will feel its dead, your constant honking will only help him adjust to another comfortable position. Finally, when you decide to take an alternative poor service road, Gocha! It has got life. The whole process of adapting a new thing lies in our ability to accept the fact that it is gravely important. If not, we will just not do it. Be it paying up electricity bills, to clear credit card dues, to pay insurance premiums and list will go on.

Yes, we belong to the same category; the examples are just few metaphors to represent a more serious problem, the problem to remain “Virgin”.


Virginity, it is a heavy word but when it comes to ‘our’ society, meaning will take a new definition. Culturally, we value this so much. It is deep rooted inside us, we give this an enormous importance. There has to be a perfect start, yes, we always wait for a special occasion which can became host to conceive this humongous moment. We celebrate this, we enjoy this and we feel engrossed. According to me, this mere collection of alphabets represents a more significant moral compare to its literal roots. This un-eagerness to loose our virginity does not signify we do not want to do it. This explains our increase in desperation the late we finally do it. With references to my technical background I would say, this is a very important principle which we needlessly apply to almost everything, be it a small thing as good as learning a guitar.


I am not a philosopher or a motivational book writer or if I should say a ‘Great Man’ but this has really hit me. The very concept of being called as a “Virgin”.
