Read it fully and this speaks to me beyond belief Harsh.
This is MY story - minus the Masters and USA - Bachelors from NITK and a top-paying tech job in India.
But I quit too - while my intention then was to expand my online business and "max out" my "achievements" - mind, body, work, and life...
I missed out the Soul part - since my first Vipassana course in Sep 2023, I've been on an inner journey myself. Right now, I am in the process of healing myself from within and finding who I am truly - behind the machinations and mechanisms of the Ego.
I'd reached out to you multiple times over private notes hoping to connect - but I guess you missed the private note notifications.
I hope you find this response - or this response finds you?
I legitimately believe (I just hope my words can transmit the sheer conviction in my consciousness right now to you) we'd have an absolute value-blast of a deep heart-to-heart conversation...
My gut screamingly tells me there's some powerful serendipity at play here - that I restumbled across your profile and I have this intense surge of conviction from deep within.
I've been writing on Medium for quite some time now, you can checkout my profile - it should tell you a bit about myself - or at least the "self I thought I was until recently".
If you're busy and/or unwilling to connect, it's totally okay! Either way, will continue reading (or rather seeing) your (visual) work - and cheering for you.
Godspeed and God bless you brother!
