Hi everyone,

This is not a particular blog post, this is just what I feel about right now, considering the environment around me.

I am just sick of how we are affected by the peer group around us. It completely changes us sometimes for good, and sometimes for bad. The point here is that in this group dynamic, are you the influencer or the influenced?

I truly feel/know that what I am now, is not what I used to be a year ago. I’ll just simply share what’s going on in the story. Consider a character Kumar and how his college life begins.

So, Kumar is a guy who loves to spend time with code as much as possible. Sometimes, he does enjoy other things, but learning new technologies and working on cool projects, is what he likes the most. But, you know what, there is a term known as peer pressure, which is defined as influence from members of one’s peer group. This peer pressure really changes a lot of things.

I am a person who never likes someone to be above him, dictating all the actions, other than the people whom I trust and respect. But still, how did the peer group around me change me so much? It changed me so much, that I really hate what I do right now. It changed me so much that if I do anything other than running in this race to get good placement, I think I am wasting time.

And even after all this I still feel that there is some part of me, which is writing this blog post and wants me to do what I love. And by this, I don’t mean that I don’t like programming, no. I just don’t want to write meaningless code and waste time practising silly problems. Silly -> (if)

I mention this post’s title as “We are all in a Bubble”,this is, because, the way we act, the way we think and the language we speak are all influenced by the people around us. This is the part which I have started to hate. Being in a bubble just disconnects you from the bigger world out there; limits the way you think.

When you are surrounded by people who are stuck at just choosing the rubber for the wheels, how are you even going to build a car?

I remember, what I always wanted in my life :

To build something which is used by people at scale, and solves some of the most pressing problems.

I can’t seem to realize this thought of mine, until I escape this bubble.

Until next time, Bye 👋🏻

Thanks to not properly deploying my blog, I simply lost the source files for my previous posts 😢
