Yo,
It's 2016.
I was walking down the street at 7:00 PM.
There's a group of 4 boys coming in front of me with the swag.
One has a cigar in his mouth, another is grabbing a bottle, another is watching a phone.
And the last one has a hand on the shoulder of both the cigar guy and the vodka guy.
10-year-old me passing them down with my mini cycle.
Then they stopped me and said: "A pila patha paduchu?"
(English: "Are you studying?")
Me in a fearful way: "Yes."
They: "Padhe, padhe, bada hele baut kichi dekhu."
(English: "Okay, study, study. When you are big, you will see a lot of things.")
Me: "Kon dekhihibi?"
(English: "What will I see?")
They: "Ae cigarette, mada, alga maja re pua, ja tora. Au sundarila gunduci mosa ta re tu."
(English: "Cigar, alcohol, these are a different type of fun, son. Now go home. And you're such a cute squirrel-faced boy, haha.")
Me: with an awkward smile, leaving the place.
And when I remember this incident, I laugh a lot. And I don't know where they are right now. Wishing the best for them and their family.
But I never want to become them and never will.
Cause the bad actions in adulthood, like porn, cigars, and alcohol, make people pathless. Maybe you will find some people who have bad habits.
And in India, you will find extremely few people who are successful and have bad habits.
Cause being successful starts with your habits, and it's from your childhood.
So keep your adulthood in control, and success will come indefinitely.
