I'm 37 and will turn 38 this month. While I have been more or less a seeker so far in my life, I now strongly feel I have something to offer to those who seek, and this daily authentic journal is one of the means I chose to express myself. I founded A10city envisioning a platform that showcases authentic content, brings authentic people together and eventually becomes a place for everything authentic. I spent significant parts of my life living in the largest democracy 🇮🇳, the powerful democracy 🇺🇸 and the democracy that actually works 🇨🇭. Over the years, I have met numerous people, travelled across the Northern Hemisphere from the extreme west to the far east. One thing I have lacked is a sense of belonging, and I always fantasized the idea of moving back to India in the last 14 years of living abroad. I am finally acting on my decision to move back to India this year to start a life where I intend to give more than I take from this world.
When I moved to Switzerland in 2021, I visited Cafe Bar Odeon where the likes Albert Einstein and Herman Hesse have spent their time. Today is the Swiss National Day and I went to Cafe Bar Odeon to reminisce about the past five years in Switzerland. This beautiful country provided me a stable platform to explore my identity, helped improve my health and fitness, and I got better at my favourite sport Tennis. What I am truly grateful for is that Switzerland helped me attain financial stability, which is allowing me to think, work and act on things that actually matter to me. I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life who enabled me to experience this very day, which marks the beginning of my daily journaling experiment.
