My 2021 reflections | #09
Yeah, it’s the last day of the year. We never noticed and the year is to its end. So, in this newsletter, I thought I should write some of my highlights from 2021 and tell you some of the memorable moments of 2021
My highlights of 2021
I MET NEW PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET
In last year’s December, I became active on Twitter. Since then I started meeting like-minded people on the internet. I made friends, learnt a lot from them, and had fun.
Some of the amazing people I met this year were-
Varun Duggirala- His Instagram/ Twitter
Sukun Chopra- Her Instagram/ Twitter
Tapasya Shah- her Instagram/ Twitter
Rutvij Karkhanis- His Instagram/ Twitter
Akshay Jain- His Twitter
Aditya Mulukuri- His Instagram/ Twitter
Mustafa Kundmiri- His Twitter
Aryan Kochhar- His Instagram/ Twitter
Anupriya Kukreja- Her Instagram/ Twitter
HAD A CHANCE TO WORK WITH KANISHKA THAKUR
I was grateful that I got a chance to work with her. I learnt a lot from her, even got to meet her in person.
Kanishka is a Career Counsellor, an entrepreneur, a strategic marketer and she has very big clients like Abhi and Niyu, Raj Shamani, etc.
BEING A PART OF ‘UNSCHOOLED WITH VARUN DUGGIRALA’ WORKSHOP
This year’s May, I attended a workshop by Varun and it was a life-changing experience for me. I met a lot of people in the workshop, learnt a lot and it helped me to become what I am today.
SHIFTING FROM PUNE TO DELHI
It was shocking news for me. I never expected that I will come to Delhi. But Yeah, I am here. Will be exploring the city and meeting new people.
STARTING MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND NEWSLETTER
Starting these two things were one of the best things I did this year. I got exposed to the world, learnt a lot, became creative and started telling stories to the world.
A TRIP TO ‘KAAS PATHAR’
I visited Kaas plateau Reserved Forest or Kaas Pathar in Marathi this year. Its located 25 km to the west of Satara city in Maharashtra. It’s in the Western Ghats and is also recognized as a UNESCO site. My family and family friends went there for 2 days to explore nature. It’s a must-visit place with lots of greenery and hills. I went in July, which means, the rains kept the surroundings green.
AND FINALLY, GETTING A SIGNED COPY OF ANKUR WARIKOO’S BOOK
The year ended in a wonderful way. I got Manish Pandey’s book ‘Booming Digital Stars’ and Ankur Warikoo’s ‘Do Epic Shit’. I ordered them from Amazon. I couldn’t get a signed copy of Manish sir’s book, but got a signed copy of ‘Do Epic Shit’. I was extremely happy to get both the books.
This year will be a memorable one. I’ll never forget 2021. There were days when I was struggling with academics, dealing with mental health issues, cried a lot, there were moments that I didn’t know what to do, there were days with a lot of stress and pressure, and lots of things going on in my life.
But why I am sharing this negative thing with you? The reason is that I want to be transparent with you all. I know that many people are dealing with mental health issues and can’t figure out what to do in life. There were some situations with me this year. I just don’t want to show you the good side of my life but want to show the reality. I want to help people so that they can have a better life and grow together.
