Ambivalent ideas clutter my mind and in their ruction, they leave me frail. On one side is the new modern lifestyle which cajoles me to lead a materialistic life in a metropolis. To take by force what I deserve, to make myself supreme in this battle of life. To be aggressive, to be a winner. To live that hectic life where I can contend myself by only the best. To be successful by any and every means necessary.
On other side is my education and family values. On the other side is what my parents always taught me and what I always believed in. To be humble and down to earth, to respect others and to care for their feelings. That small town mindset which prohibits me from doing a thousand things that I want to do.
And amidst these two contrary feelings, I’m utterly confused on which path to follow.

Living a materialistic, successful life with a humble attitude is very much possible.And if at all there is a contradiction, then weigh ur priorities :)
Very thought provoking post Varun!
"To live that hectic life where I can contend myself by only the best"..
Agreed..but trust me ..it surely looks tough in the beginning, but as rightly said by Ruhani..to live it humbly wrapped with all the family values, is surely possible though undoubtedly tough!
Keep writing..
bro life is a series of experiment.
its your choice, what experiments you want to make.... the only thing i think that is important is that you are at peace with yourself.
