  1. Yes, All good, thanks for asking. Not wealthy yet, not that easy to recover from 8 yrs in TCS 😂

  1. Went from 60 lakhs debt to 1.5 Cr net positive.
  2. Lifted iron on 120+ days, want to hit 160 by year end. More than excited to see what my body is capable of.
  3. Got laid off, got cheated on in a span of 15 days, which mentally destroyed me .
  4. Increased my salary by 18X.
  5. Became a Director of a $4B company at age of 25.
  6. Bought a loan free 3Bhk in Gurgaon.
  7. Quit my addictions of weed and women.
  8. Had 5 fully paid foreign trips(met Sam Altman 1:1)

I got really humbled as I am writing this, as never in my wildest dream I imagined this year to be such a roller coaster. Life took some people away and luck gave me great opportunities, perfectly balanced as all things should be. 7 years of sleepless nights are starting to pay off 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Visited 13 places across India.

Since school days wanted to visit ladakh and kanyakumari in a month.

Did so in June 2023.

-8 of pangong tso to double hump camel ride and nubra valley river rafting in Indis river.

Peace of palolem to techno music of a random club.

Auroville serenity to vagamon vibes.

Munnar misty fogs to Varkala sunset.

Kanyakumari swamy vivekanand meditation centre to fish thali of girja aunty in canacuna.

Flying over India for 10k kms within 10d to 2ac journey in irctc using 1ac washroom. Meanwhile seeing sleeper and general class and thinking of paradox.

Delhi lounge to Bengaluru lounge via lkw and ccu.

Tier 1,2,3,4 to village.

India is full of beauty.

Am bullish on India more than hni and VCs of USA.

My soul felt satisfied after so long.

Still I haven't visited 10+ states of India... looking forward 2024 :)

PS - I have watched swades 52 times and never been(nor planning )to USA :D

Hit 0.5cr Net Worth (2.5 yoe) on 29th December when markets hit ath.

0 alcohol, uninstalled instgram on 31 dec 2022 and never touched it since. Mental peace is at an all time high.

Never missed a single week of gym and now in the fittest shape of my life, got 6 packs, can do 10+ pulls ups in one set. Started getting compliments from people around me for the body, 1st time in my life.

Few setbacks as well but shikwe kisi aur din karenge

Took my first solo trip this year with my own income as a freelancer, and I fell in love with travelling so much so that I took another trip in less than 2 months. Feels great to be free without depending on anyone financially.

Now I’m legit considering working while travelling and living that digital nomad kinda lifestyle. Hoping that it comes true in 2024 🤞🏻

Became more confident about my abilities (after having an imposter’s syndrome for the longest time)
Tough to be in a place with people smarter than you and not question yourself, but the day you stop it, you become better.
