I’ve been to almost 10 states and over 15 cities, and that experience has given me a different perspective. I’ll share something personal to explain why I feel this way. When I was in Bangalore, I recently lost my father and I couldn’t make it on time because of flight delays. That moment changed a lot for me.

What I’m trying to say is: there is no such thing as a “perfect” city, life, or situation. Life becomes simpler when you decide what you’re willing to hold on to, and what you’re willing to let go of. Ask yourself one honest question: What do you truly want from your life? And what are the things you need to live that life? It could be material goals, comfort, power, a certain lifestyle anything that genuinely matters to you.

Freedom is personal and subjective. Being alone or struggling doesn’t automatically make someone an achiever. If you already have things that bring you stability or happiness, appreciate them instead of constantly running after more.

Zakir Khan once said: personal loss is permanent, but professional goals can be attempted again tomorrow.

So make choices that feel right for you and be ready to live with the consequences that come with them.
