This comes from
real life. Not a textbook.
I grew up in Coimbatore in a family that was never under one roof — but always in each other's lives. My mother has eight siblings. My father has two. Every wedding, every festival, every function brought everyone together. And when families that big get together, there is always something happening.
I got married in 2021. Our first child arrived in 2022. That year tested us in ways we had not anticipated. My wife navigated postpartum while managing her career, her identity, and a new baby — all at once.
“We did not just survive that season. We figured something out together — how to keep loving each other well, even when life made it difficult.”
Our second child arrived in 2025. My life is genuinely full. And it is precisely because it is full — not despite the challenges, but through them — that I feel ready to guide others.
