Welcome!

Welcome to my first post in this segment! It might seem odd that a 24-year-old is writing about life, doesn’t it? You might wonder, why read anything I write? Why even bother? What does this brown kid from India have to offer that’s different from what’s already out there? Honestly, I’m not entirely sure, but I do know there will be at least one person who finds it relatable, gains some hope, or even feels inspired—that would be an achievement for me.

One thing I’ve always strived to do is view the world through a different lens, mentally challenging myself to think differently. I believe this approach has truly shaped who I am today. I’ve been fortunate enough to witness the world's beauty through my travels, meet exceptional people from various parts of the globe, become a part of their lives, and learn from them. I’m no genius, just an ordinary kid wanting to understand what’s happening around me, learn from others and their experiences, and perhaps even experience those things myself.

This 24-year journey has been full of surprises, with more downs than ups, but I’ve always believed that in those downs, I discover the best parts of myself—a newer version waiting to emerge. Interestingly enough, my grandfather used to say, “Things are already out there; we just have to go and find them. That’s why it’s called research!”
