IDENTITY


Some of my friends say summi concentrates on cliche, not-so-happening things. They complain that sometimes I think too much. They say i am not contemporary. Yes, may be. May be sometimes I am committing social suicide by involving my mind into curable but uncured obvious problems of society. I do not understand what sort of trend, fashion, lifestyle or modernism demands you to live by showing blind eye to inner you. We have to enjoy every aspect of our life. Have fun. However, does enjoying every time mean losing yourself? Can’t we enjoy by being ourselves?
I am an Indian. I am a practicing, moderate Muslim, A small town girl of Telangana and a social conscious youth pursuing her education in a city, a fun loving girl who loves to have many diverse hobbies and interests. I am lucky to grow up in an environment with amalgam of cultures bestowed to these contemporary youth. I do not have any stereotypical identity. My identity is a blend of all the positive traits that I have learned from my cultural surroundings, the good things I am able to absorb and seek from the knowledge resources until now. Well may be its time to recognize the fantastic blend identity, which most of the youth in the society have. May be its time to move on and start recognizing people also by what they choose to be apart from what they are born of or where they belong.
