After almost four and a half years away from the camera, I decided to start creating again.

The last time I was making content, it was mostly around travel, photography, and videography. This time, I'm stepping into something very different—technology and software engineering.

A lot has changed over these years.

I moved from Delhi to Bangalore, built a new community, spent time with friends, worked across different companies, and went through a lot of experiences that shaped where I am today. And now, I'm at another transition point: I'm looking for my next job.

Documenting the Journey

Instead of keeping this journey to myself, I decided to document it.

For the next 20–30 days, I want to share what happens along the way—the preparation, the learning, the challenges, the interviews, and eventually, wherever this journey takes me.

I don't know exactly how this is going to turn out.

And that's what makes it interesting.

Capturing the Process

The idea isn't to create a polished success story after everything is over. I want to capture the process while I'm actually going through it—the things that work, the things that don't, and the lessons I pick up along the way.

Starting Again

Maybe this will eventually become a series about finding a new job.

But for now, it's simply about starting again.

The camera is back on.

The journey begins.
