There are only two splits for 2022

  • successfully arranged first trip with few other friends
  • visited Bengaluru for the first time
  • migrated to Bengaluru
  • Highest number of days stayed alone separated from family
  • Broke some of my biggest fears
  • Got my first sneaker and many new things
  • went for Ritviz's private concert (CRED's anniversary party)
  • met the most number of strangers this year and they turned out to be my friends
  • travelled more than 4000+ kms in a year (by land alone apart from city rides)

Looking back at 2022 I've learned so many things. I've tried to keep so many things private and I'm happy about it. Sometimes I've written drafts that were never shared to the world. These are some really good things I wished to share.
