This is not my first attempt to write a blog post, or make a portfolio. Every single time I fail so miserably that the I have more than 20 portfolio/blog templates in my drive killing space. Very simple, this is an attempt to tell people how good and inspirational the people I meet are, how important they are and how much I value for the value they leave in me. Starting from Teachers to Parent to Friends to Colleagues to Vendors to Strangers to this endless list of change makers.
It was in the year 2013 I found there was an acceleration in the way things worked till then, the only thing I did differently was to use what I always had. One year working with an NGO and in college I could see myself surrounded by a lot of people who wanted to make a positive change in the way things worked. Only thing I was sure at those times, was things were changing. as soon as things changed there were a lot of opportunities, chances and events which took the years by storm. I could recollect n such events, n such evenings, where I’ve just stood like that, and I could only thank the universe to let me be with these people.
I came across the word Antevasin, few weeks ago in the movie, “Eat,Love and Pray”, it means someone who lives by the border. It was fascinating, so was everything. It was a calculated risk to move away from Cochin after college, I longer wanted to bind me anywhere, at this time. I just wanted to pass by places, meet people, and I ended up here in Nashik. Different place, but same love and passionate people. It’s a social innovation lab, tailor made, Ideal. I’m palnning to move to Dharmshala after this for another fellowship, I don’t know how long and even now only thing I’m sure of is to travel, meet new people, new places.
I’ll try to pen down here the inspiration and awesomeness people leave me with in pursuit of my attempt to live by the border.
