Overview

After five years in Bangalore's tech sector, Aditya's life had become an endless loop of customer cases, fluorescent lighting, and panic attacks. When his screen froze during a quarterly review Zoom call, something in him finally broke free. He closed his laptop, sold his possessions, and set out with a single backpack to explore all twenty-nine states of India.What began as an escape from corporate despair gradually transformed into a quest for connection-with a country he barely knew despite being born here, with strangers who became momentary teachers, and ultimately with himself. Through desert heat and mountain snow, crowded cities and remote villages, Aditya's journey across India became a path toward home in its deepest sense. Partly semi auto-biographical, semi-fiction, this is a journey across all 28 states in India
