MUSICIAN - Pursuing the Dream

Today, I am going to talk about the struggle of the musicians. So I am going to present two stories in front of you which are inspired by true life events. First story is a journey of a girl towards her dreams which passes through the avenue of challenges and difficulties.  The second story is of a boy, for whom music is just a hobby and not a passion.

So, let’s get started with the first one.

I met her during my school days. She used to sit in front of me, and as the time went on, we got closer day by day and became best friends. We started sharing secrets and one day she told me that she wants to be a singer but as she was born in a typical middle class Indian family where anything other than studies is useless, her dreams were crushed and she was forced to prepare for engineering entrance exams.  So   she started preparing for IIT-JEE and dumped music.  But how can one leave a thing which one loves the most. As predicted, she couldn’t concentrate on her studies and started coming last in class. Her life became dull and she started feeling trapped in a cage. She failed in IIT mains and her parents put all blame on her music. As months rolled on, I got disconnected as I being busy in my own life and hence never heard of her. After few months, she contacted a mutual friend and from him I got to know that she is doomed as she didn’t want to drop, but has to do again as her parents forced her to. She was crying on the phone, saying “I don’t want to study”  She further added that she had joined a band but her parents told her to take a drop and just pursue engineering , so she trashed the idea of joining band. Now, she is just wasting one year to that shit again which she don’t want to do. She was without any motivation and keeps accusing her parents that they are one who are destroying her life rather than thinking about her dream. We tried to motivate her that rather than complaining about her parents she should just focus on study and go out to study and follow her dream there. We further motivated  her to start a YouTube channel and keep singing then make her video singing a song but she was not even close to get motivated and she keep repeating that she feels incomplete without guitar. She became depressed and started believing that god has closed all the doors and even if there is one left unlocked, path to it was invisible. But at last she told that she will try. No one knows what will happen in future. Will she go after her dreams? Or will she give up and fabricate herself under skin of an unsung engineering student? 

Though future seems blank for her, but I want to leave my reader with one thought:

 “We are not creatures of circumstances,

                                                  We are creators of circumstances”

P.S. :  As I promised for two stories . Second story will be presented by this upcoming Wednesday.

           stay tuned and have a nice day :)
