The day started with a wake up call early in the morning at 9 :-) courtesy mom and dad. I had forced myself to sleep only a couple of hours earlier at around 5 after a long and eventful day organizing TEDxChennai. It was one of those days that you are really satisfied and proud of what you have done. The hard work put in during the previous three months and particularly the last one had finally borne its fruits.
TEDxChennai was a grand success and had ravishing feedbacks http://bit.ly/70HLG2. An auditorioum that can accomodate only 240 people was crammed up with 300 odd people with some of them not having a place to sit. It was a moment where the who is who of chennai were comfortable sitting and standing on the pathways enjoying the show. All of them were transgressed and transported to a new world by the inspiring speeches of the speakers. Such was the aura in the auditorioum you had to be there to experience it, if you were not there you definitely missed something truly inspirational.
Enough of nostalgies, as I woke up all alone in my house the biggest question that came to my mind was what next? It was a brilliant team that I was fortunate to be a part of. This is a killer team that any company would love to have in their arsenal. The best part was we hardly knew each other for a month or so and that too over a cup of coffee. The camaraderie and bonding that can happen when like minded people join together for a common cause is truly amazing. Friends who had become thick and fast would be back to their busy life styles by now, miss you guys.
As i write this, I am filled with a sense of emptiness. Now I understand why Satyabrata dam tries to kill himself every other day, because you die only once but emptiness can kill every single moment of yours. Once a peak is scaled the next question that immediately comes to the mind is what is the next peak to scale, else life appears to be meaningless. Is it to escape this sense of emptiness we keep running around setting up lofty goals and spend our lifetime chasing them? The Vcamp moment ;-) Well on a serious note I really wish someone had an answer.
I had been so much engrossed with TEDxChennai that all the other projects that I was involved in had gathered dust by now. I started clearing up the cobwebs that had gathered around them to create a new challenge. A new day tomorrow and a new peak to scale...
