The burden of hope

Posted on February 6, 2024February 6, 2024 by admin

Ever pervasive in every soul
But ever different on its own

A beacon of our dreams and goals
Extinguished, life turns dark and cold

Without which I and they wouldn’t exist 
Without which dreams wouldn’t be dreams

But when it tranverses the realm of your own
And hinges upon the choices, not your own

It gains a weight of its own
And transforms into burden on its own

I wished it to move mountains
And not become a mountain on its own

But now that it’s turned into a stone,
It’s no longer a wish that I want to own.

I've been a 2x founder with stints in the events and the healthcare space. Very recently I chose to give up my founders hat for sometime atleast and switch into a fulltime product role.


When not building products and writing about them, I tend to ponder upon other things in life that intrigue me including politics, philosophy etc.
