Thank you for the question and the nudge Udhay! And the responses are inspiring… de-lurking myself.
At a personal level… Life has been super kind. - We moved into an independent house - which in Bangalore weather has been just fabulous. - Maggi - a golden retriever joined our family and has changed our lives. - Kids changed their school (for the 4th time), with a few gentle nudges from me and I am glad they adapted into the new school like fish to water… Daughter got to experience a few days of goin mg to physical school and loved playing basketball in school. Both are eagerly awaiting next week - when they go to school. - Got to spend a few months with parents thanks to challenges in Myanmar and covid. Deep conversations on life, spirituality and our differences. Grateful for the time together. - Being part of StartupsVsCOvid and then actgrants.in - I experienced what Peter mentioned: so much volunteering and generosity!!! - At Udhyam, have been thrilled with what is happening right now in Delhi: almost 300k 11 & 12 grade students getting INR 2k to try and entrepreneurial project and I got to be in classrooms and speak to them - and experience their energy: To see this happen in less than 5 years of starting Udhyam : a feeling hard to describe - Feel fitter, loving my every weekday yoga practice and the weekend cricket inside an enclosed tennis court - Feel inspired by the many young entrepreneurs I get to talk to in the startup and non-profit spaces : what crazy ambitions!
