tl;dr: varanasi won't leave my head, patna has no internet, and i accidentally made $300 in 20 minutes.
so here’s the thing about varanasi.
i’ve been going there every month for the last 4 months. minimum 1 day, sometimes 2. and i still can’t explain why. something is there in the air, trust me. i’m not being spiritual influencer about it. it’s just… there.
like i can’t settle there. i know that. but i can live there. does that make sense? probably not. but it does to me.
the more old i’m becoming the more dharmik kinda person i’m becoming. more touch towards gods and stuff. and ukw i think i am what i am because of god. idk why but i just know sab sahi hoga. he/she is with me. i don’t have proof, i don’t have logic. i just know. and that knowing is enough.
stayed 2 days in varanasi this time. then came to patna.
patna.
working. no internet. like literally no internet.
found a corner in the house where i can access some signal but the ping is so high that calls drop every 2 minutes. doing some jugaad though, getting it done. classic bihar internet experience. if you know, you know.
rahul from 4g.
okay now the fun part.
so yesterday was saturday. and we did something very cool. VERY VERY COOL.
we means me and arnav and one intern.
we went towards a very huge company. like $100m huge. yup. we went bonkers.
and btw? they were not able to handle it. i mean yes, i can’t reveal what we did. but that was insane af. just imagine going towards a very big company, although yes they have a lot of money to lose and we had just some time to lose lololol.
fighting with us they would’ve spent almost $50k-$100k. yes for sure.
they didn’t know who we are.
that is about that platform lol.
it was fun. it was scary. at the same time tbh.
okay and did i tell you?
I MADE $300 DOING A 20 MINUTES WORK.
yea. a yc company reached out to me for some work. i thought of quoting them $50. yea, fifty dollars. that was my first instinct.
but the company was big. so i thought of texting arnav first. shared the dm like “see who texted me.”
that guy. PURE SALES WAALA. he didn’t care who texted. he’s like “$500.”
i’m like chale be nahi denge wo log.
without any thought i wrote $500.
win hai ya toh loss hai. and loss bhi bas 4k ka. its fine only.
AND UKW? THEY AGREED.
yes. $500.
but then they reduced it to $300 because they want to make another collab of $500. so basically $300 now + $500 later. and yea, the $300 came through. let’s go.
even told rohan, pranav, arnav, vedant — brooski pizza on me.
bkl no one replied yet.
guess what? they have a life on weekends. they replied but shifted topic. lol.
anyway.
varanasi in my head. patna in my reality. 4g in my corner. $300 in my account.
life’s good.
peace out.
if you’re new here, start with lowercase. or the banaras series. or that time on the jaipur flight.
