kshitij chauhan
let's keep it informal: do you know why i love lowercase letters? they are so relaxing, aren't they? but why does someone need to relax a bit? well there's a story to that⦠(maybe, i'll cry writing it)
hey, i'm kshitij aka samosa. i'm 21. i've been studying brands since i was in 9th standard. i'm currently building a tech startup, codenamed syndicate.
i'm a middle-class guy who struggled a lot to make things work.
i've seen a lot of things in my life, that even a 40 years older might not see in their lifetime. i've seen the days with no food, to the ones with a 3-star buffet. i got punished in my school 'cause i didn't have fees. got bullied for that too.
unlike others who might have heard about these stories, i'm the one who has seen all of them in front of me.
i've seen bare children shivering on the roads, i've seen people begging for medicines, i've seen people dying in need of oxygen. my grandpa died after eating adulterated food. i've seen kids on discord being blackmailed for sharing nudes. i've seen people getting alzheimer's after losing someone they loved. i've seen people lighting themselves on fire after having so much anxiety.
i've been so close to ending my life, to getting everything i can ever have.
growing in all those conditions, was a guy who was curious, whose only sin was having big dreams. when there were so many family disputes at his home, he used to cry a lot. his biggest escape from these tensions were 00s-10s english songs. and ofcourse writing lowercase letters to himself.
his superpower: he never lost hope.
all he did was to read stories of steve jobs and listen to 'wavin flag' by k'naan, in a hope that everything would eventually get better.
i'm leaving this story incomplete, so that i'll have something to tell whenever we talk freely.
now here i am.
it's 2024,
i'm trying to give back things to the ones who don't have those.
i have so many great ideas & i'm on my way to learn building them. i wanna build products for billions.
i've previously built some cool things with affordability and quality in mind.
my goals:
- realizing my ideas to life.
- fighting hunger & poverty.
- giving back to earth, environment & animals.
- writing a non-fiction: 'letters to my younger self'
- talking to strangers and bringing smiles to their faces.
feel free to message me. although i'm an ambivert, i would love to make new friends.
if you can help, i have some ideas to work on. have a nice day π»
just remember this: bad days are just like dark tunnels, however dark it may be, there will always be light at the end of them.
