My 2024 Wrapped
Hi Everyone!
I hope you’re all doing great! For those who aren’t feeling their best, I wish you a speedy recovery. It’s been a while since I last wrote, and honestly, life’s challenges kept me from dedicating time to blogging.
2024 has been a rollercoaster — a mix of incredible experiences and rejections. Some friendships grew stronger, while others faded away. That’s just how life works, right?
This year marked the end of my on-campus classes (Oh my gosh, I couldn’t be happier about that!). I was fortunate to land a product management internship at a startup, where I gained valuable insights into product management and corporate life (saving the details for another day — corporate drama included!).
2024 taught me a lot about resilience. There were moments when I doubted my abilities, but I realized that no matter how hard you try, some things are beyond your control — and that’s okay. Better opportunities always lie ahead.
On a personal note, my cousin welcomed the cutest little baby girl into the family, and I’m absolutely smitten! Irritating my adorable niece has become my new favourite pastime.

This year also made me question whether I’m cut out for higher education. While I love learning, college left me feeling drained. For now, I’m focusing on other avenues of growth.
Another highlight was attending my second-ever music concert with friends. It was an unforgettable experience featuring some of India’s most talented artists, we had an absolute blast!
On the academic front, a dream came true when I got the opportunity to work on a robotics project during my final year of engineering. Building a robot had been my aspiration since grades 11 and 12, and this year, I finally achieved it! Drawing inspiration from Stanford and bringing the project to life was surreal (and yes, it works!).
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of my family, friends, and mentors. A heartfelt thank you to each of you for being part of my journey and helping me grow stronger.
Here’s to the highs and the lessons of 2024!
Once again Thank you all !
Cheers to 2024 !
