In a herd, opinions will always be biased
and flattery...
Cos' you know, they want their favours
returned aptly.
Walk in a herd, you'll always be just a head
in the crowd...
Walk alone, you'll be distinct
and proud.
Being a herd follower is a life purposeless
too ordinary...
Take your gallant strides alone,
it's extraordinary.
Alone is the real test of your might
and glory...
Strive and enrich yourself,
follow nobody!
When you tread your path alone with
guts and zeal...
Only then you're truely,
Bold and Real!!

Amazing stuff! The few who indeed have guts to let go of the herd mentality are truly bold and real.

DeleteNandini your work is mind boggling, I am impressed that in India people know much more about blogging. Otherwise people dont vaule bloggers in India. It is very pathetic for me as I am a blogger
ReplyDeletethanks jitendra, blogging is relatively still a new concept thats why people are not much aware of it, but good thing is its growing and many brands too like to associate with bloggers these days.

DeleteThat's wonderful write. Only those who are endowed with indomitable spirit could walk alone with their head high and chest , a wrought iron. But then, the indomitable spirit is not god-given but an acquired one. One can be free sans herd mentality.

DeleteSimply very good! Einsteins are not produced in a herd. One has to walk alone. Some time at the peril of being ahead of ones time. Risk being burnt alive for being different.
