i recently watched my videos from july 2022 & august 2022.

it’s just been 4 years.


4 years ago,

this month:

i moved to bombay from bangalore.

i was fresh out of college.

i started my first job.

i was computationally sketching, not knowing where it’d take me.


4 years later,

this month:

i am in new-york, on the opposite side of the world.

i am a graduate-student at one of the best programs in the world.

i am on a near-full scholarship.

i work with people i watched on youtube.

i have different friends.

i live in a different environment.

i feel differently.


i did pretty alright. 4 years is what one spends in an undergraduate degree. from 2018-2022; and now from 2022-2026, i did alright.

here’s to the next 4. 2030 — i wonder where i’d be.
