Cheers Guys! @immerzyve made it to the Top 10 of the competition.
I've only won a competition once in my life. That was 14 years ago. That too was in Music. Did i ever mention that i play hobby guitar? I also composed a song back then for a short film that my friend made. Funny part was that it never released. 😂
Things were different in the early 2010s. Facebook was thriving & i didn't hold myself as much as i do now. I would post some cool pictures of me often and would frequently refresh the page to see how many likes i got. It's funny as i write this of how far we've come but the attention to likes hasn't really gone away. @publish fundamentally changed that for me. I didn't know anyone besides Darius which i guess was helpful in hindsight. I wrote with no expectations. I wrote with all my heart. I never expected to have 30 followers or close to a thousand reads. It was you all who made it possible. Thank you.
Coming back to present, i applied to JCI's Creative Young Entrepreneur program about 6 weeks ago. A person i met an event suggested i do that. I had no clue how many applied but all i knew was JCI was a very big organization. I did not expect to qualify but Hey, thats how life works i guess. Here i am, my virtual pitch is this Saturday, August 8th. I get just 5 mins to pitch & then results will be out on the 12th. Top 5 will go to pitch in Montreal in September at a huge JCI conference.
I stand ready for this. Wish me luck. Will keep you posted.

Next week is a special festival in India. There were going to be guests visiting her. She found the entrance wall of our home to have got old & dirty. One of her friends suggested trying out a wallpaper instead of painting it. Wallpapers are still making their way into the…
Internet is the highway. Our Phones are the vehicles. Subscriptions are the toll gates.
Social Media are the gated communities that are privately owned. They are well connected to highways & bring in a lot of traffic. There are quite a few to pick from & most of them are free. Everyone that joins gets a piece of land to build what they want on it, but the…
