Struggle is my poison

Struggle is more attractive than success.

Yes, Struggle is that boy who forgets to shave. His loose denim and crushed Panjabi smell of cheap tobacco.

He tells tale of impossible dreams. He expresses agony towards all and every norm. He breaks free. Passionate in love. He kisses like there’s no tomorrow. He is violent, he hurts.  And at the same time he becomes a fiery addiction.

Success is sophisticated. The elegant saree clad woman, with nerd glasses. Stares at you with a glare. Her expensive perfume makes you feel like a second class citizen. 

She ruffles your hair, but never mingles with your soul. One moment she is in your arms, the very next moment she is cold.

A comfort, she plays with, is so smooth; it makes you queasy.

You want to retain her.  You want to be her lifetime. But alas, for some of us…that old intoxicating boy...with impossible dreams- remains the chosen poison!

Yes, to me…struggle is sexier than success!
