Not Having Fun.
That’s how it all started.
I walked out of one of India’s leading coffee conglomerates not because I was unhappy but because I had stopped having fun.
I joined a start-up with one simple belief that building something meaningful should be Fun, even when it’s hard. That curiosity should matter more than comfort. That creation should feel alive.
And then the falling began.
I fell.
I got up.
I fell again.
And again.
Only to dust myself off, stand up, walk and then run.
I kept running faster and faster not because I was chasing success, but because I was having fun.
Fun learning.
Fun building.
Fun failing.
Fun figuring it out.
Along the way, I discovered the most powerful sentence I know and one I was never afraid to use:
“I don’t know.”
That sentence kept me honest.
It kept me curious.
It kept me learning.
It’s been a long WROGN journey. A journey of creation, of identity, of people, of mistakes, of magic, of meaning. And then one day, I felt it. I realised I had stopped having fun.
Not because the work wasn’t important. Not because the people weren’t incredible. But because the falling had stopped.
And when you stop falling, you stop learning.
When you stop learning, you stop growing.
And when you stop growing you stop having fun.
That’s when I knew it was time.
Time to step away from the comfort of the known.
Time to walk into the unknown again.
Time to fall again.
So I can get up again.
So I can learn again.
So I can have fun again.
Because growth doesn’t live in certainty.
It lives in curiosity.
It lives in discomfort.
It lives in choosing the unknown over the familiar.
Is it easy? No.
Leaving comfort for uncertainty comes with butterflies in the stomach. With questions. With doubt. With the quiet voice that asks.
Is the cost of fun too high?
But when the mind and heart align, you stop negotiating with fear.
And right now, my mind and heart are aligned.
I am ready to fall again.
I am ready to learn again.
I am ready to build again.
I am ready to have fun again.
And say hello to the next fall.
I want to have FUN.
