Going with the trend #throwback2016 That year marked the beginning of many things. I landed my first major collaboration with Kurkure, which led to my first work trip to Delhi. It turned out to be a memorable experience, though convincing my parents to let me go was a challenge. They thought it was a scam, but they had no idea I was taking baby steps into an exciting future. The first half of 2016 was all about studies since it was my last semester in college. I was already earning money through collaborations since 2015, so I had saved up enough to buy my first iPhone so I could upgrade my camera. After graduating, I did a short photography course but left halfway to pursue pastry school in Gurgaon. It was a quick decision and I somehow managed to convince my parents in a week. I still don’t know how I did it, but before I knew it, I was living alone in a new city, filled with uncertainty and possibilities. A decade later, I’m still here thanks to you all and doing what I love the most! 🥰
