BRICS 2024 and me!
What a wild-wild thing✨
Posting about this VERY LATE because my imposter syndrome kept telling me "itna bhi kya hi bada kaam kiya hai, choti si to bat hai, iska kya alag se post dalna". Finally, after 45 days, i mustered the courage to hit the "post" button.
Here is the long story:
I, Yogricha Verma, had this once in a life time opportunity to represent my nation 🇮🇳 this year. Cannot believe that my Art ✨ had the potential to send me to Russia, amidst a war with all the safety, to talk about the art and uniqueness of INDIA.
I had never in my life dreamt of going abroad...and mostly, for something LIKE THIS.
It has been 45 days and it still feels like a dream. 🧿
My first international trip, with no experience of travelling alone outside Madhya Pradesh 🤭.
From drawing silly shapes to sharing my seat with Aleksey Yuryevich Russkikh, Governor of the Ulyanovsk Oblast, Russia. 🌸
All because of the army I had behind me.. my MAA & PAPA for the unmatchable courage you gave me. @santoshkumar4634 @shantisantoshverma
My husband @kanishkdevesh for making me believe me myself.
My Mummy @sangeetamishrasharma for supporting my dreams! I am blessed to be your daughter in law.
My brother & meri parjai @nitesh907 @akankshaww for 360° support and for constantly keeping a check on me.
And a HUGE HUGE THANKS TO @madhish for making this possible & @raj_kishor_13 for pushing the "go" button.

I still believe (part of me allows my imposter to win on a daily basis) that this is just an everyday thing for a lot of people hence what I have done isn't big. But, deep down, I am happy that I could do this.
Thanks to Bappa 🙏🏼 and to everyone else silently praying for me.
