There is one question that has quietly run more lives than any dream ever has.
Not what do I want? Not what makes me happy?
Just three words: log kya kahenge?
We shrink our ambitions to fit inside it. We stay in the wrong jobs, the wrong cities, the wrong versions of ourselves — all to avoid a comment from people who were never going to clap anyway. The neighbours with the binoculars. The uncle with the newspaper. The group chat that turns your every decision into today's breaking news.
Log Kya Kahenge isn't a complaint. It's a shrug that turns into a smile. It names the whole circus — the gossip, the unsolicited opinions, the 24×7 coverage of a life that isn't theirs — and then simply walks past it.
Main apni life ka CEO. Baaki log — comment section.
Because the people busy judging your life have already lost the plot of their own. And the moment you stop auditioning for their approval, something strange happens: the noise is still there, but it stops being about you.
Khud pe dhyan de, bhai.
