Zero to Hero

Pitaji always said I wouldn't amount to anything.

I felt very bad.

I spent a lot of time in my room, wondering how I'll make ends meet.

Going through my journals, I remembered something Maa said - that it takes time to become a hero.

But....What if I always was, and always will be, a zero?

Is there anything wrong with that?

What if, to be zero, is to be anything, that from which something begins, and everything ends towards?

I need something for that concept, to denote nothing.
