Journey of Milestones

2015 -2025

The Inception

जब एक शाम ने बदला सब 2010 का कॉमनवेल्थ खत्म हुआ, फिर वीकेंड पर पापा से मिलना शुरू।
एक शाम बोले-पार्क में बूढ़ों की आँखें सूनी सी लगती हैं, तू मीडिया चलाता है, इस दर्द के लिए क्यों कुछ नहीं करते ? दो दिन नींद नहीं आई।
फिर एजिंग के  बारे में पढ़ना शुरू किया !  ओल्ड-एज होम? मेरा मन नहीं माना। 2015 में शुरू किया-रिटर्न ऑफ मिलियन स्माइल। ५० हज़ार लोग जुड़े, १० हज़ार ने प्लेज लिया, गोल्ड फिश में सेकंड लाइफ पॉलिसी पड़ी-रिटायर को फिर काम, ६० को अंत नहीं, नई शुरुआत। मीडिया में लिखा, दिनेश गार्ड ने सो टॉप इन्फ्लुएंसर्स में इंटरव्यू लिया, पॉडकास्ट दिए। पर अब २०२५ है-सेल्फ फंडेड सेकंड इनिंग: स्पिरिचुअल मकसद, जनरेशन के बीच बातचीत। कोई अपरूटिंग नहीं, सिर्फ अपवाद में। एजिज्म लायबिलिटी नहीं, असेट है। .

First  Smiles

One Evening That Flipped the Script Post-2010 Commonwealth, weekends meant dad. One dusk he said, Park elders look hollow-why not use your ad brain for them? Sleepless nights followed. Read ageing till it hit: old-age homes? No fit. Launched Return of a Million Smiles in 2015-५०k followers, १०k pledges, conceived Second Life policy under Goldfish (copyright mine, by the way). Pushed Labour Ministry till we became exclusive partner. Wrote columns everywhere; Dinesh Carta called me among world’s top ten techno-influencers-took his mic, gave podcasts. Now 2025: self-funded reboot-no pledges, straight to policy advocacy, spiritual purpose, inter-generational chats. Rooting out elders? Only if medical chaos forces it. Age isn’t baggage; it’s treasure.
