I Have Changed

A few years ago, I started writing—not because I considered myself a writer, but because I had thoughts, observations and experiences I wanted to put into words. Technology, supply chain, travel, and sometimes simply things that caught my attention.

In a world dominated by Reels and Shorts, writing can sometimes feel like a lost art. Yet, I still believe there is something special about putting a thought into words and leaving it somewhere for someone else to discover.

I started writing around three years ago, but then I stopped. For almost a year, I didn't write anything.

And during that year, I changed. A lot.

The biggest change—I became a father.

I also moved from Mumbai to Bengaluru, away from my parents and the familiar environment I had known for years.

Being a father has been the most transformative experience of my life. Holding my daughter for the first time, and now watching her grow, learn and develop her own personality, has been surreal. There are moments I wish I could simply pause and remember forever.

I have become more patient, humble and, hopefully, wiser. I've learnt that not everything needs to happen according to a plan, and that some of life's most meaningful moments are the ones we never planned for.

So, I'm writing again—not to become a writer, but to document this phase of my life.

To capture the experiences, lessons and little moments that I don't want to forget.
