From time to time, we find ourselves in need of healing, propelled forward by the currents of change. It’s been a decade since I began taking myself seriously, a shift prompted by life’s unexpected turns. I recall a moment of reckoning, marked by a low score on an exam that forced me to confront my own shortcomings. That experience ignited a newfound dedication to self-study and personal growth.

My childhood was far from ordinary, filled with hardships that shaped my worldview. Poverty was not just a concept; it was a reality I lived and sought to transcend. I embarked on a quest to understand the other side of life, driven by a deep-seated curiosity and a desire for a better future. Despite the challenges, I have always believed in the cyclical nature of history and the potential for transformation.

As an Indian, spirituality became my guiding light. Amidst a plethora of deities, I searched for an idol that mirrored my journey, only to realize that true enlightenment stems from within. I embraced the dual roles of student and teacher, for I couldn't find a mentor with that elusive X-factor. Instead, I delved into ancient texts from Sumerian wisdom to contemporary insights, thirsty for knowledge that would reshape my understanding.

Drawing from ancient scriptures and diverse philosophies, I forged my path—a fusion of ideologies that reflects my unique identity. Life, I've come to understand, is like a graphite pencil; it requires occasional sharpening to tell a clear and compelling story. Peace✌🏻
