I clearly remember that night.
No matter how much I tried, I just couldn’t sleep!
I called up my friend for help, and the only thing I got was more confusion…
This was back when I was pursuing PhD in Physics in the US, and wasn’t happy with it!
All my life, for the last 8 years, the only thing I thought of, was US, Physics, NASA, Space Scientist.
And now when I was there, inching closer to my goal, I wasn’t happy!
I just wasn’t happy!!
I had a burden of family’s expectations.
Burden of my own expectations!
However, more than anything else, I just couldn’t live with a life where I was good at everything yet I had to drag myself through my days! Amidst so much chaos, this was the only clarity I had.
From that day to a day in 2015, life changed, I changed, and I moved on.
But if there is one thing I want to go back and tell the younger version of Ankur Warikoo, that is the one thing I want to tell you as well…
Hope this video helps you understand that...
