Riding the Green Wave

Hey everyone! 😊

What a week, everything lined up so perfectly that I’m still riding the wave. You might spot me in green a lot (it hides my cooking disasters!), but green now means hope, growth, and the tiny choices that spark big change.

In class this week, I finally saw why running a social project isn’t like selling soap you can’t copy-paste business tricks into solving poverty or ensuring clean water.

You have to start by understanding people’s hearts, then figure out the how. That blew my mind.

I also cracked my research puzzle: why some friends waste plastic while others obsessively switch off lights. Forget boring surveys,

I'm sitting down with my closest pals for real talks to get to the bottom of it.

The weekend felt like magic.

We caught a play about a kid finding courage,

got delightfully lost in the spice market, and I finally treated myself to non-veg after ages. Good food and great company

pure joy.

And guess what? I might be boarding a 15-day train journey across India meeting changemakers at every stop.

Sometimes the universe drops unbelievable chances right into your lap.

Our group chat was bursting with birthday wishes, study hacks, and “you’ve got this!” pep talks reminding me that learning is as much about friends cheering you on as it is about textbooks.

I realized joy and work feed each other.

My brightest ideas came after belly laughs with friends, when you feel safe and excited, your questions get bolder and your dreams grow bigger.

This weekend we’re planning museum adventures and more shared conversations that leave you buzzing. And I can’t stop thinking: what we do now will shape India for the next two hundred years.

Terrifying and thrilling all at once.

Reply with one unexpected joy from your week! Did it color your work or your dreams? I’m all ears, curiosity sparks the best conversations.

September Manifesto - What I'm calling in:
Courage to ask the questions that matter, those that make my heart pound. Friendships that push me to grow. Small sustainability habits that stick. Seeds planted now for blooms next year. Yes to adventures that scare me a little. And a purpose so alive that it lights up my every morning.

Thank you to everyone who lifts me up, to the universe for surprise detours, to every rupee that lets me experiment, to my health for endless curiosity, to life’s wonders, and to the five elements earth for grounding, water for flow, air for clarity, fire for passion, and sky for dreaming.

Keep making waves, friends. The good kind that lift everyone up.

With love and green energy,
Nami 🌊

p.s. If any of this made you think of your own stories or questions, I'd love to hear them. The best conversations always start with someone being brave enough to share first.
