Read this after many years, Anish! (from 2024)

I write these blogs to just sit back, years later to read through and to give my current stalkers some entertainment! So Hi there, strangers and 2 friends!

Let’s get to “biness”! 

When I turned 25, I was told by doctors that I would be on a wheel chair by the time I hit 40. I really don’t like to talk about it. Some of you may know this and may have seen me ploughing through. I have exactly 40 days to prove them wrong. 

So here I am, doing the 75 hard, lifting weights, running a few, walking a few rounds with just one mantra. “If it kills me, so be it.” So, when anyone pokes fun at this, It’s personal. You’re put in a box with those doctors. 

This year was a year of reflection and transformation. 

I met with an accident and had a surgery on February 13th. I got my wake up call from an angel! My sedated brain was hallucinating I think.

I was frustrated staying immobile, in pain for 3 long months. I watched my chicken legs shrink further. 

I broke my bones and savings for the surgery! I was out of work during this time. But I could pay my bills, coz, I was well prepared financially. Thanks to timely investments!  

This year I fell in love, but with the wrong woman. I idealized her, and she was not meant for me. But on the bright side, this showed me I could genuinely fall in love with someone. I had closed myself out after my long breakup years and years ago. I really felt it for this person.  

My visa to Netherlands got rejected, I know the reason was only because I was single. They didn’t trust me enough to come back to India after my trip. So I used that money to buy 2 amazing guitars. 

I did 2 successful music bootcamps and a massive student concert! I made friends with some really cool doctors, architects, head hunters, chefs, etc., who are parents of my students. 

I also hired a web designer to revamp my school’s website. 

I had a beer and smoked 7 cigarettes this year after I quit in 2019! 

I wanted to travel to attend concerts! But they are all coming to India!! I met Steve Vai last year. I caught Extreme, A7x and I’m looking forward to more. The tickets are booked. I also got into a mosh pit and got some bruises. 🤘🏾 

I got two wedding proposals through my student’s parents, and a woman hitting on me, no thanks to Soumya. Today, I’m not in the right mindset to deal with this right now. I like being unmarried, for now. Maybe someday future Anish will regret this decision. But it’s ok. 

I’m back in the dating apps, for some extra, not so serious fun, which reads, “looking for only the bad ones”. The “good women” here are very pretentious! I got 5 matches already, but they are all turning out to be good women! 🤦🏾‍♂️ And I refuse to fall in love again! I’ll fight a good fight with all my might!

Speaking of fights, I’m in the process of fighting my mid-life crisis! You know, when you get old, you see a lot of grey hair, stretch marks on your ass, your skin is dry, you’re wondering what’s happening, coz you look old but don’t feel old?  This is all the humbling I need to come down from my “throne”, to appreciate this life. I wake up everyday thinking I am going to die soon, just to keep my ego ass grounded. 

As for those doctors, I’m not on any medication yet!! A checkup earlier this year said “perfect”! I’m just taking my vitamins and sipping on water!
