To my 20-year-old self

To my 20-year-old self

It was 12:01 am, 4th September as Trishala and I sat down to finish the last piece of my birthday cake. As we gorged on decadent bits of lychee from the cake, this celebration of age left us wondering, 'What is the one advice we would give our 20-year-old selves?'

Seeking an answer to it set us on an intensely packed one minute trip to nostalgia, regret, love, learnings and accomplishments. Phew! 

Wanting to send you down the memory lane, we asked all of you to tell us the one piece of advice that you would give your twenty year old self. The answers ranged from thoughtful to bizarre and everything in between.

We loved hearing from all of you, and with this we begin a new segment of our magazine that we're going to christen #ILAMRAExperiments. With this we hope to learn and unlearn some rusted notions we hold dear, stir some impactful conversations, bring out a giggle or two, and create a welcome space.

Read more about what everyone had to say to their younger self. It's warm and fuzzy.
