What 2020-21 Meant For Me.

What most people experienced in 2020 & 21 , I’ve experienced through most of my life untill then. Starting from absolute bottom, frequent disruptions, derailing, train wrecks and a good dose of self sabotage.

However what has happened to me since March’20 untill Dec’21 is absolute amazing run. I’ve broken free from all previous mental fetters, I let go of my whole team as my 40 people company attritioned away and me and two senior colleagues of mine watched it with pleasure. Complete break. Hard reboot. No more incrementalism. Let everything go and restart from first principles.

And what a run has begun.

I demanded and I got. Everything that was missing from my life arrived in last two years. $ paying clients who just pay when it’s time, co-founder level people in Vatsal and Pawan supporting me, to whom I can entrust things and go, an active working farm and gaushala , three very beautiful kids that seem to be coming up like model children of a traditional house, all the untangled spheghetti issues with wife no more as she has become a friend, a new home space that fulfils desire for a studio, being partner with a friend who goes really long long back, an abundant time to do things, people on the farm supporting things on phone calls, freedom from all debts owed to anybody… and above all love and liberty.

I’ve taken it easy this year first time in my entire life. I’ve sat on the sidelines and watched the world go in deep contentment.

These have been the best years of my life. The best.

When you reach a point you could say this, after facing as much adversity as I have, and you are mature to know a good thing and savour it, this is that time.

Now begins the next phase, to cover for the lost decade. Not in vengeance. Not in restless speed. Just by strategy and craft acquired through thousand cuts of previous adversities.

The next phase is that of relentless leverage. Let us see.
