Every interest I have picked up has taught me something different about the world. For me, this project is about exploration, to view the same horizon with different spyglasses. I believe that the simple act of obtaining perspectives builds one's character. So, as I journey through these ten years, I hope that I will slowly recognize who I am and who I want to be.
"We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one." — Confucius

For me, this project is about living a life that feels purposeful; it is about being ambitious, making mistakes, and continuing to learn about myself, others, and the world around me.

Life is about creating yourself. Without challenging yourself, facing your fears, and opening your mind to new possibilities, you can never live up to your true potential. For me, this project is about trying new things, fulfilling my dreams, and learning to be brave, in order to be the best version of myself and give back as much as I can to the world. It’s about seizing every opportunity that comes my way – to add the little extra needed to make life extraordinary. It’s about living a life worth writing about, so the world may keep our stories.

There's this one thing that we all have. It's free, but priceless. We can't keep it, but we can spend it. Once we've lost it, we can never get it back. It's also the meaning of my name in Hindi. Time is our most valuable asset. Throughout these ten years, I look forward to cherishing every moment — and recognizing the value of time. Life is long, as long as it is well lived. This is our time to make every moment count. "The most dangerous thing you can do in life is to play it safe." — Casey Neistat

Why spend 10 years like this?–That’s a great question that I’m sure I’ll find many answers to along the way! The nature and people and cultures and places of the world call out a million ‘whys’ as I set my goals for the next decade. I’m excited for what’s to come and I hope to share as much of it as possible.
"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." – Kurt Vonnegut

For me, this project is about building a virtuous, happy life that allows me to become who I want to be. I want to spend the next ten years exploring my potentials with the challenges and opportunities ahead. By practicing such a lifestyle, I hope to learn a lot so that I can share my experiences in finding the purpose of life with others.
"Now happiness more than anything else seems unconditionally complete, since we always choose it because of itself, never because of something else" ― Aristotle

I believe that living a fulfilling life involves surprises. It would be simple to just exist in college, get an average job and live my life. However to surprise yourself with what you can do is what I believe gives you true happiness. To live such a life, I must take risks, test my limits, and constantly search for betterment. This is why I am excited for this project. I will be inspired by everyone around me and we will become better together.
"The most important trick to be happy is to realize that happiness is a skill that you develop and a choice that you make. You choose to be happy, and then you work at it." -Naval Ravikant
