There was a giant. Gentle, amicable, easy going and patient. He was there for everyone and listened to everyone. He carefully treaded his path and took care he didn't hurt anyone. He was the people's man. An election would make him the Prime Minister. He was approached whenever anyone had to get anything done. He would never say no to anyone, never try to hurt or disappoint anyone purposely.
How did it help him? It never did. To be popular, his natural aggression was at its level minimum. His patience took toll off his psyche. He was an unhappy man, who didn't have the freedom to express himself and of course restricted by the choices he made. He was silent, never focussed, always complaining but doing nothing about it. He couldn't excel in anything, nor could he choose what he wanted. He was confused and to the core.
It was never late for him to change. How, was the question!
He took a welcome break from his student life. And with a lot of time with himself and with love and affection from family, he changed!!!
He has total power over his anger now. He was smart, focussed and fine tuned his observative and analytical skills. He could get into arguements without getting emotionally involved. He talked when he wanted. He expressed himself completely. He apologised for his mistakes and learned more from them. He was never seeking attention, nor was he trying to prove himself. He was just being himself. He was finding happiness in it. He never bridled his aggression. He just harnessed a lot of energy out of it. He smiled and enjoyed every bit of his life. He hated fraudulent and fake people. His aim was to change this world for the good. He did this by changing the ones around him. He provoked them with thoughts, tried to find some goodness in them and tried to lead them to the right path or let them lead him if they were better compared to him.
He was reborn. He was no more the gentle giant. The gentle giant died when he left IIT Madras on 31st January 2010. RIP, Gentle Giant. You were a really sweet thing. But there will be no more of you in my life.
This is a new, reborn upgraded version called the firedragon.
