i am leaving bangalore and moving back to my hometown - faridabad. and for the first time in a long time, i can actually hear myself think. bangalore was kind to me. it really was. it gave me the job, the friends, the love of my life, every room i wanted to be in. and somehow i became someone there. but i was working on someone else's terms without any freedom and there was literally no life of my own. my mind, my body, my ambition - all running the same loop and coming back tired. bangalore's startup culture is real. competing with the valley, building serious things, all of that is true. but everyone's in the same race and no one's clearly winning. i didn't want to be one of the many. i wanted the road less travelled - run alone or with a few, and actually get somewhere worth getting to. so i left the job. came home. doing what i should've been doing - being the eldest child, sitting with my grandparents, travelling, making time for the things i want to live, not just accomplish. leaving was the hardest decision i've made. it’s also the one i had zero second thoughts about. that's how i knew. if you're young and ambitious, go to bangalore once. let it shape you. it's worth it. but if it ever starts taking more than it gives, leave. nobody's going to give you permission. bangalore gave me more than i could chew. i'll always be grateful. but something inside me was dying. always grateful to everything i got from this city <3 it’ll always have a piece of my heart! here's to whatever's next.
