Most of us live our lives blaming ourselves,cursing others,sheep walking every other man’s advice, instruction and order,empowering the world to hit us below the belt,every single time.We are emotional fools.Our dream man is a compilation of ten other men,our dream job is someone else’s job, our future is someone else’s present.Nothing is originally ours.We don’t live,we exist in the wait of our dreams to meet our reality,without even giving it one decent shot.“What we don’t have is destiny’s fault,not ours.And what others have is their luck.”This is the biggest lie written on rock.
‘I Am Another YOU’ is a book for all those who live this lie,day in and day out.This book is beyond learning.It is beyond experience.It is unlearning all the lessons of life you and me have grown up parroting.
“You can’t do this? Are you mad? You will fail miserably!You don’t know anything yet?Remember my words!I had told you!I knew this would happen to you.You can’t do anything.You are a loser,a mistake!”These are just a few statements which every Tom,Dick and Harry has thrown at me, piercing me at every chance they got.These are the words you believe,without a second thought. You strip yourself at every popular demand till you peel off your skin and grind your bones. Till all that is left of you is a meek soul held captive in your body.You live a vegetable growth, waiting to rot.
‘I Am Another YOU’ breakthroughs this YOU - The YOU who has the passport,but,not the visa to your life;the YOU who degrades self at the leisure of others;the YOU which is trapped in all of us, hidden, unattended, unacknowledged.
‘I Am Another YOU’ cleanses the inner self whose value is self destructed,the soul whose existence is not appreciated.It is not self help.It is the source to awareness,the medium to realization and the achievement of acceptance.It is not Priya’s journey alone.It is a path to finding our true self,not following hers,but,by simply experiencing hers.
‘I Am Another YOU’ is not a tale, neither is it an autobiography.It is a book of confessions,acceptations and discoveries – confessions of a lost,broken soul shattered in a million little pieces,accepting mistakes that turned life upside down for her and discovering the culprit and the victim – a timid, tamed,incarcerated soul hiding inside her,waiting for the right moment,hoping God to send a fairy Godmother to her rescue before every wrong turn,hoping destiny to play fair,only to find out that there is no right or wrong moment,there is no fairy Godmother,there is no destiny scripted.It is YOU.YOU are the key to your lock.YOU are the moment, YOU are the Fairy Godmother and YOU are the destiny.
‘I Am Another YOU’ is not a soul curry for a vulnerable soul.It is not a book with hidden secrets.It is decoding life for those who condemn it to be too complex,too unfair not within their control. And it is coding life for those who don’t know their purpose here,who live life at the mercy of others and who eventually wither off into nowhereness.
‘I Am Another YOU’ is coming across the word ‘miracle’ and realizing that the 'magic' is YOU.YOU are your strength and YOU are your weakness.YOU are the action and YOU are the consequence.YOU are the master and YOU are the slave.YOU are your creation and YOU are your destruction.
Priya neither leads nor teaches.She simplifies the complexities and serves her purpose to enlighten every single soul living in despair and self pity,perishing one moment at a time.She reinstates the greatest truth of mankind, the greatest lesson of God – “All is One and One is All.”
‘I Am Another YOU’ begins with an end of hiding,waiting to be found and ends with a discovery of the new YOU.So,the book never really ends.It grows with YOU, within YOU.
It would be wrong if I say Priya motivates.She inspires.She enlightens.And without travelling miles,YOU journey through the pages,every page finding a little YOU everywhere.
She says,“If I can,so can YOU”.Why not?I ask myself. After all,I Am Another YOU!!
