2025.

The year of comeback? I mean, the past 11 months had everything - ups and downs, high paced action-adventure, drama, comedy, and a lot of dance, like a proper Bollywood movie. And I? Just a guy with dulhe ka bhai wali energy.

End of 2024, I came home ready to move to a new city while attending fests and whatnot but an opportunity to work with my first career mentor and to explore and experiment with career pulled me right back to Delhi.

A lot happened this year, with phases where sleep was a luxury again to phases where I happily pushed it away.
Due to space constraints, here are some of the highlights that I remember:
- Got kicked out of a concert by the creative director (rude - I wasn't even in the wrong, could've just asked like the security)
- Changed job, shifted back to NCR
- Witnessed Green Day live at Lollapalooza(still pinching myself)
- Got my two brothers hitched, bringing amazing bhabhis into the family (weddings are crazy and dances are crazier)
- Saw a lot of my fav indie artists perform live. They are the best, please support them
- Got my stuff locked inside my own room - had to skip office and break the door down
- Realized I become an extrovert in weddings when im very much involved
- Been tracking the year (2nd last photo): Had just 6 bad days and 4 neutral days out of 339 days of the year(increased resilience?). A successful year ig.

And well, I gave in - as I write this, I've left my job, I'm back home again and this time I'm gonna take one hell of a break. Gonna learn to rest properly, spend more time with fam, learn more about Mother Earth, climate change (fyi, we're doing horribly as a society & we NEED to take calculated actions swiftly), to travel and to understand myself and my peeps better.

HUGE thanks to those who stood with me this year too and a chirpy cheer to those who became part of my life this year. Also, if I hurt you, please text, will try to fix things.

I'll end with the words of Motherfolk -
"Life is a race against the light
I'll tighten two grips on the night"

To more first times, music, kindness etc. 🥂

P.S. wars are shitty, the situation our earth is in, it's a pity.

the 11 months reflections no one asked for :)

Sadly, I couldn’t continue the zeal of the last 2 years. The year started horribly with news of the deaths of known ones every week. Things settled after a few weeks, and discovered a scam that affected me. Still get jitters about it. Despite the negative start, I made great connections with some people, and I’ll cherish em forever.

Spent most of my year in therapy(funnily, I went to the dentist and got rerouted) and so had a lot of time to introspect & re-learn the adult life. Unplanned experiments, lots of late-night cinema, walking back home on the meticulously lonely roads, dancing mad till 6 am cuz Where Else will I find this comfort & vibe, jumping into voids to avoid sleep - a lot of such small incidents covered half of my year(well, the whole year tbh).

Few pointers on my rest of the year:
-Impulsively got one of the craziest tattoo forged onto my skin - will be gone with the phases of time
-Got another tattoo(for the star wars fan in me) - closest to my heart(emotionally)
-After 3 failed attempts of successfully planning a trek, finally went for one after feeling the exhaustion kickin in - gorgeous trails, mountains - met crazy wonderful people
-Completed a year in the cities of djinns and joy - not so bad places actually
-Fabulous year for my Indie music love - saw so many of my fav artists perform live, met em, had chats - lovely people - please support em.

Things turned for the good in the latter half of the year, with the last two months *touchwood* being the craziest, most wholesome months ever. Wish I could express more, but it’s just ineffable.

If it’s not for those few people who kept me on the ground(literally, B-17 if you’re reading this <3), supported, encouraged me to live life a little extra, showed me my reality, and were there, present in the moment I needed them, life would’ve been absolute sh*t and I - mad. MASSIVE THANKS to you magnificent peeps 🤍
And a BIG THANKS to music and musicians for helping me keep my sh*t together throughout the year.

2023

Reflecting on the past 11 months on a great, memorable date.

What an year!
A rollercoaster of firsts, "never thought I'd do this" moments, and personal growth. This year continued the wild ride that started last year.

Channeling the energy of 2022, I took on new challenges, addressing human aspects of myself that I had neglected. City explorations, embracing emotions, doing things forbidden to discuss, reconnecting with my inner child, finding peace in stars, moon and clouds, songs and unconventional hopes - got to do everything.

It's rather profound to write so I'll just list down some stuff -
Got inked, didn't believe for few months(so got another tattoo).
Packed my bags for a solo trip in the middle of nowhere, best trip.
Moved out of home to a city I once labelled "worst", life's way of throwing curveballs ig.
Danced in rain after countless years, unimaginable joy.
Crafted a secret formula for infinite supply of happiness(can't share thanks).
Continued work for climate-action with some of the most brilliant minds of the country.

And many more moments that I'll hold close to my heart forever.

Yet, amidst my personal life, conflicts around the country, around the world gave me heartaches. I don't know what do to by myself. Courageous are those earth's citizens challenging these conflicts, but true success requires resolutions from those in power. I hope peace comes by soon.

MASSIVE THANKS to those who shared moments, held hands, stood unwaveringly by my side, saw me laughing and falling apart, listened to my life updates, rants and guarded moments. I don't know what would've happened if things were different. Your presence means the world!
I did lost touch with few, dw we'll sort it out.

Embracing materialism without attachment, making Jeremy Bearimy a part of my essence, finding solace in little check-ins and touching grass in mountains, forests and beaches. An year of adventures, care, smiles, laughter, gratitude, hugs, love, heartbreak, heartaches, rain-soaked trips, my jhola, and amazing/terrifying things crowned by never-ending firsts. Wished a longer ride with some but life :)

To more firsts, and to you reading this wholly 🥂 by @godofglee

2022

It won't be wrong to say that this has been the most happening year of my life, had serious ups and downs, really bad, weird, good and better days that helped me transition into a different person altogether.

I started the year working for the betterment of mental health(will be ending working on climate change yay!), got exhausted and found myself losing control of my life. Then took some big decisions(Impulsive too) that now shape up me and my life.

I owe 2022 to hell lot of first times of my life, to some freaking brave steps, to taking therapy, to finding myself, to actually enjoying college life(gold medalist damnn), to finally come out of 7 years of grief, celebrating my birthday after countless years and travelling endlessly. I'm not the same me 2 years ago and I've never been more content *touchwood*.

There's still a month left(meaning more first times, travel, uncertainties and shits) but I just wanna pause time a bit to reflect upon and cherish whatever happened in past 11 months.
To all the places I've visited, all the new people, existing people - new relations, older-stronger relations, to my BCA champs, sky and my stars, just everything and everyone, a big thanks.

Posting here after 2 years feels weird but whatever. Wanna use this as a way to catchup with ya'll here.
Does this mean I'll be active here? probably not, but let's chat and you'll know. by @godofglee

2 years ago, on this same date, I was talking to my inner conscience in a way never done before. I felt like I'm talking to mother earth and that changed my life to such an extent that 22nd April became the most important day of my life. It was a long chat, we talked about wars, humans, ideologies, nature and of course our existence(lost Avicii 2 days ago).⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Although surprising that a "pseudo-living" thingy is teaching us the value of life, resources and relations but it's okay, atleast we're learning this extremely important stuff. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It goes without saying that Earth day is every day but today, I'm immensely happy to celebrate individuals and organisations helping mother earth smile and I personally thank @earthdaynetwork for their 7 billion trees mission and @treesforthefuture for working closely with the most vulnerable part of the society for everyone's betterment.⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Happy Earth Day 2020 🌍⁣
⁣⁣⁣
P.S. Give them your support. And I'll say it again, adapt or plant!⁣⁣

It's okay to feel like you want to give up, it's okay to want out, it's okay to reach breaking point, it's okay to not to be okay because you're much more than your sadness, your stress and these feelings just please don't give up.⁣
