Are you in prison?
A decade ago, I was living with my college friends in Raipur city, Chhattisgarh.
One day he said to me, "Are you coming with me to the plant? I have an interview at that firm."
I was also working at that time, but I wanted to give him company, so I said, "Okay."
In India, the working hours are generally around 9 am to 6 pm.
We took an auto to reach the location, as per communication to arrive at the plant around 10 to 11 am.
When we reached the main gate of the plant, we saw that it was closed.
The guard outside the plant gate asked us, "Whom do you want to meet?"
My friend replied with the person's name, and the guard recognized him, opening the small gate.
As the guard opened the gate, at that moment, a movie scene appeared in my mind,
"फिल्मो में कैदी कैसे बाहर आता या जाता है, एक छोटे गेट से"
It felt like we were entering a prison.
This story suddenly struck me after reading a beautiful quote shared by one of my real-life heroes, Tim Ferriss:
“Most people end up being conformists; they adapt to prison life. A few become reformers; they fight for better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place.”'-
