2016 trend in 2026? Count me in for the nostalgia, fam.

Sometimes I look back and wonder: who was that girl? So full of life, living in the moment, no overthinking, no five-year plans. Planning wasn’t even in her dictionary.

Life back then was forced treks thanks to Diksha, a pre-graduation Goa trip with my girls, finishing engineering, and then—boom—landing a job and flying to Germany. Fun fact: I got the job before I even had a passport and had to fly almost immediately after joining. No time to process how I’d navigate a new city, a new country, all by myself. A girl who had never even stepped out of India alone… who couldn’t go to dinners solo. And suddenly, another country.

And yet, I had the time of my life. I lived. You can tell from the fashionista phase too, haha.

That’s when I promised myself; every year, a new country. A new culture. A new way of seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.

My God… 10 years. Back then, I didn’t even realize I was building relationships for life.

Love you always, fam. 🤍
