Let me be little personal this time around. I have been asked this question so many times before. Do people change? And, I have also been given the answer many times before. Yes, they do.

In fact, I am told that I have changed a lot. While, I don’t like to believe it, but may be it is true! So, now the debate is who is real Tushar?

The one who was there couple of years ago or the one who is there now? Am I changed for the better or for the worse? What’s this transformation about? Has my thinking changed? Has my worldview changed? Did I get inspired by someone or something to become a ‘changed’ person?

Well, by the end of this post you may come to know whether I am Tushar 2.0 or still the same old one many of you have known for years; but before that let’s understand something about how we behave and whether we really behave the way we are supposed to? Are we all ‘real’?

Now, it’s a tough question to answer. Not many people have the courage to present themselves as they are. Everybody wants to be politically correct. Almost everybody wants to live in a comfort zone of convenience of truth and lies. It’s a matter of choices we make and those very choices ultimately make us. You behave differently when you are in a coffee shop of a five star hotel and you behave differently when you are in a south Indian restaurant sipping the ‘kappi’. You become extra cautious when you go for an interview or for a first date – impression jamana hain bhai! You wear different clothes and with each pair, you change your attitude as well. So, where is the real McCoy? Do you really have a personal brand or it is ‘created’ each time for the ‘environment’ you are in. We can continue our debate on this till eternity.

So, let’s come back to the transformation to Tushar 2.0…

May be I have started discovering my personal brand in the ‘real’ sense. May be I have reached a stage, where I don’t have to prove anything to anybody. May be I am too premature in thinking or created a new wave of thinking, which many people would neither understand nor appreciate. May be for the people who are close to me – I was always the ‘real’ one and the people who have been in periphery might have discovered some ‘realness’ now and termed it as a Tushar 2.0! There are so many possibilities, but the only statement that says it all is that ‘I am what I am!’

Anyways, whether you love me or hate me but as long as I am here – some of you would be happy,  and the day I am not here – some of you would be happier!

I wear my attitude and I will, always. Forever.

Take care.
