Fighting failure and depression - a very personal account. I’m scared of sharing this. However, if it helps anyone with similar struggles find even a bit of optimism, it’s worth it. Me being open and vulnerable in private conversations has led others to open up and heal together.

Interactive may be the form of content that works in the coming decade. #Esports may be the opportunity to invest in, not IPL teams/cricket, which cost as much as EPL football clubs today. In my limited experience, the younger gen. is less enamoured by cricket than my gen. was.
