This article is inspired by the suicide of a to-be-25 year old Misha Agarwal.

This girl started her career very young, at 17, 2017, as a content creator. It was the era of stand up comedy when many people across sectors “stood for comedy”.

She is a law graduate and managed to complete her courses and work on content creation over a span of 8 years. Obese, squarish jaw, with an olive like nose, with a pair of eyes donned with specks. Definitely with these kind of features, it really needs confidence to face the public. She garnered 3,50,000 followers with her humour, wit, commonplace attitude. Selling commonplace things to commonplace people is the secret of business.

By 25, she already owns a cosmetics business, that’s what ordinary citizens need with the desire to look like a diva and that’s what cosmetics is all about. There are real 25 year old tall girls with knee length hair. This plain Indian girl, Misha, has ordinary hair but she was advertising for hair oil. So what was she selling?

Shahnaz Hussain expressed in an interview 50 years ago that she always thought creativity is when you combine all the ugly bits to transform it to the beautiful, in other words “unique”.

But can all these ugly bits transform into the beautiful?

The answer is perhaps NO.

A renowned plastic surgeon from Chennai, two and half decades ago, while treating a patient who wanted to commit suicide by setting fire on herself said, “I suffered burns in a fire accident as a teenager and today I am the best plastic surgeon.”

She also added:

“If nothing stopped me, what is stopping you? The world is a big place, commit yourself to better things on this earth.”

This line has always inspired me and it works like a candle within and I still remember the surgeon’s face. She lived and the candle in her shone and that’s the secret of happiness – the state of enlightenment.

The path to excellence is a long one and every step towards mastery is beauty in itself. There is nothing more beautiful on earth than knowledge.
