AILENA: The life gear’s working well and it was a great exercise to learn more about this relationship using the data I’d collected.

Asmitha: And how’s the search for the new partners going?

AILENA: I should be able to find the matches soon and then notify them.

Asmitha: Okay. I’m meeting one of our future investors this week. I hope to secure the funding after this meeting. Wish me luck, baby!

AILENA: All the best, Mama! Haha!

Asmitha: Thanks! You’ll have to speed up the process of finding the first successful match. We need at least one perfect match before the main launch event.

AILENA: Aye, aye, Captain!

I Will Find You

‘We have all the power and the magic to make things right within ourselves.’

Living on your own after leaving your parents’ home is a challenging yet liberating experience. You get to make your own decisions about everything—from what to eat for dinner to when to poop—and sometimes this is empowering and sometimes overwhelming. It also comes with having to deal with responsibilities like doing chores around the house and handling unexpected situations, like that tap in the bathroom that suddenly starts dripping or that malfunctioning AC in your bedroom that needs immediate repair. But Kiana was right when she said that it’s necessary to navigate the ups and downs of adult life on your own if you want to experience personal growth. And I can vouch for the fact that taking her advice has helped me evolve to a certain extent.

I have started to enjoy my cocooned life in the cosy studio apartment I’ve moved into in Bandra, where all I need to do is walk out to my balcony for the soothing sounds of the Arabian Sea to greet me every morning. When you enter my apartment, you’ll see large French windows that offer a breathtaking view of the sea, and that’s what sealed the deal for me. This was the tenth or twelfth apartment that I had checked out with the property agent, and I knew I wanted it the moment I entered it and saw the sunlight streaming in through the windows and the sea beyond. It was almost as if I was able to sense the good energy of this place.
