Smile

He had headphones tightly plugged into his ears, all he could hear was nothing but the music. As the song ensued, he started to build an ingenuity around him. He canvased him standing beside the sea while the sunsets. Far away all he saw was no one but him alone. He sat down, carved a smile on the sand but the water washed it away. He once again carved the smile and once again water washed it off. He kept on failing until suddenly he was vibrated back to reality. He realized it was his phone, he answered the phone, it was his love but it was broken and heavy. It was as if the person on the other hand was crying over something. Every sigh broke his heart into pieces. He started to rub his feet on the floor in a rage, his mind started to question him and he put great effort into ensuring to contain the other person. He prayed himself broken instead of the person he loved. He kept on thinking and soon picked up his phone, called the person he knew broke his love. Many questions were raised, many answers were voiced and decisions were made. The heated conversion ended by the voice abruptly hanging up the phone on him yet a smile was carved on his face. Time passed and he was able to rescue his love from the voice. In all this, he was broken many times, questioned on his doing many times, and was called a villain many times but he bared it all to ensure that one person he loves and whom he heard broken could be rescued to never be broken again. Once the person was rescued, he started his effort to give his love all he could. This changed him from what he was, so much so that that beach house he imagined when alone was now canvased as an apartment by the hill with his love beside him. Although he was bruised and ban-aided yet there was a smile on his face. Instances later, still in the struggle to give his love all it needs he was struck and stopped. His love complained to him that he was wrong to decide for them. His love called the voice again, and they both established the ground that it was in fact him that was broken and that it was him who needed help. His love and the voice decided that all he did was hasty, wrong and in fact, he was the villain. The voice and his love stated that he was changed and that his love was better off where it was. He saw them smiling at him. He said nothing to his love but he felt as if a knife struck him and that nothing of him remained in him. Slowly tears started to wipe down his eyes, he rubbed them off as he smiled. He waited for an end but the end never came and all he saw was waves rinsing away the smiles whilst he drew them on the sand

Before The TED Talk -An Autobiography Part 2

“It took me 6 months to score an admission, and those 6 months I was once again in the closet. I mean I literally didn't talk to anyone, and I was all socially awkward back. But once I reached my University that was away from my own city, I chose like most out-of-state students to stay on-campus. This gave me a whole new way to look at my life and learn new things. Living in a hostel, on-campus taught me a lot of things, from how can people manipulate you to do something for them and then leave you right in the middle and also taught me how to make new friends. It taught me how to survive on my own and the best part, it brought out from within me my hidden sarcastic self. Sometimes, I do hate my sarcastic self. Still, this sarcastic self within me later proved to be one reason I was liked by the audience at open-mics and stand-ups. Living in the hostel made me independent, I learned how to tackle my situations alone, and I became this contained person. I showed everyone...

Before The TED Talk -An Autobiography Part 1

It was 8:00 am and like always, I was late. "I had to be at the talk at around 9:45, but oh my, I woke up at 8:00", I said to myself, "for God's sake, hurry up. You're speaking in this Ted Talk. I mean, wasn't this your all-time dream." To which my brain replied, "Hahaha! Yeah. But you know the rule, Ahmed, sleep rules over everything." I jolted myself up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom, quickly dressed myself up. I didn't pay much attention to what I was wearing, and it was like I was just throwing clothes all over me. One after the other and then other until eventually, I looked in the mirror and found myself all ready and set for the talk. At least that's what I thought. I didn't have much time, and I still have to prepare my speech; therefore, I opted for an Uber. Now, I am someone who uses Uber Pool and that too with walk option. But I was in a rush. I also knew opting for the usual would delay me to my fi...
