I Lived, Am Living, Will Thrive - My Past, My Present, My Plans

Bad news for all ill-wishers out there, I, Atul Kaushal survived that day, am living today & will thrive tomorrow. What I've succeeded in achieving is not only a new lease to my life - toiling harder to keep myself up in the shining snowflakes on the top, but also that I've discovered an expertise for weaving stories - not just telling lies, that's an old one - but I've found a good writer inside me, who depends on my grammatical expertise & a friendly vocabulary in the easiest foreign language for Indians. I've recovered significantly from my accident and though it has left me partially disabled, I'm again able to run, at least at 75% of swiftness I used to.

I'm outperforming many at the class given my poor recent memory after my accident. For that I've to go that extra-length.

And among my other developments is an achievement that very few are able to achieve. I've written a novel & am writing two others. While the first one of them has been completed and is inspired partially by my real life, I plan others to be entirely based on my creative imagination.

They're so named:

1. 7 Seconds [Completed; Edited; Formatted; Conveys many hidden social messages; Waiting to be published by a nice publisher]
2. Number 23 [Presently started; planned to be a short novel with a youth-oriented theme]
3. 5 Day Meaning [Presently started; planned to be a different novel with a story line off-the-leak]
4. Varsha [Planned to be completely a Sci-fi with a difference]

Let me explain better, I started writing the first one after I was inspired by my mother to write about my life-threatening accident in a paragraph for my college magazine. But when I completed the college magazine paragraph, the writer inside me came out and it transformed into a young-adult-fiction novel which was a teenage-guide book for the starting chapters taking clues from my own life, with romance chapters & sci-fi filling it up in the middle & I ended it like a thriller.

The second one is a not-so-short story about a guy who as a young boy develops a dislike for his birth date, his roll number, his school van number & his house number and as an adult dislikes his age 23, the day his 23rd crush says 'no' to his proposal & this turns into a mental patient driven mad by the number. So this one is a psychotic thriller.

Days pass in many youngsters' lives thinking about "What should I do after my bachelor's?" I plan this novel to be presented as an answer - The Armed Forces - and as I think of it to be set in the 1990's after recovery from the economic crunch. That would be my third novel.

The fourth one is planned to be a romantic sci-fi which again focuses on time and it's value. Time-travel, love & side-effects take the center-stage in this one.

Alright I've revealed many plans about expanding my hobby of writing into a profession tomorrow. Now I should tell the readers about my current topmost priority of immediate interest, other priorities & my current status in life.

I'd take up the various fields of my life and tell in rough detail about each one of them.

Firstly, I should tell you about my music. Well now as you read this blog-post, you must be well-aware of my hobby of music and might have listened to some music that I created. I've composed ten proper songs till date. Of these ten, few are also on my YouTube Channel and another handful are yet to be recorded.

Secondly, I should be telling you about my current topmost priority till 2015 ends - Studies. Well I didn't do good enough in my studies till I was made to realize its importance by time - I met with a serious road-accident on the NH-1 near Samalkha (Panipat District, Indian state of Haryana). The accident was life-threatening & life-transforming at the same time. I've recovered significantly but was designated as permanently 42% disabled - I limp slightly, can't climb down stairs as swiftly as I used to and find general difficulty overall in movement. Whatever it be like, I don't fear anything. I've always been a fighter and didn't give up under conditions much tougher than any subject that I'm to read in my course. I plan to do at least a master degree after my bachelors.

Thirdly, my relationship status. Single forever. Yes. The farce of my last relationship with that cute girl has left me wakeful that what should a human being's preferences generally be in an age when there're distractions aplenty. Career. Yes. Career should be at any girl's or boy's focus at this young-adult age. Ambient conditions for focusing properly on one's career include this single status. I don't say that there're no other options and people can't maintain their committed relationship statuses for long, but I'm among those people who shouldn't waste their time in relationships. I should focus on two of my oldest living relationships with my parents.

Fourthly, my health. My health is quite better than the days I used to be in the ICU and I'm quite comfortable enough though I feel the difference than before my accident with every step that I take.

I conclude this post with the titular message - I'll live again.
