I am blessed.

Thank you god for being so generous with me!

Thank you for giving me Abhi, Bharath, Rahul, Gautam, Karthik and Akhil to me.

I consider it a gift to have known and be associated with these extraordinary people.

I dont know why im saying all this, but I do know how im feeling what im feeling right now.

I picked up a back issue of Strange Brew today. And I read it like I have never read it before.
It took me back to a space in time where life was well....worth every moment!

Abhi is truly truly my godfather. He is the blessing of my life.
He was working in Intel making pots of money when I approached him with the idea of Strange Brew. All I asked him was 'maga - Do you want to be stuck in a cubicle for the rest of your life, or do you want to get out there and live a life of fuckin adventure?'. It took him approximately a few seconds to decide.
He quit his job and the rest is history. Together we wrote, designed, and did everything it took to build and churn out the vision that Strange Brew was(and still is!)

Thank you guys for trusting me and being a part of my life. I know none of you read this, or no one connected to you reads this shit blog, but then im offering this as a token of my gratitude. You have trusted me and given me a part of your life. Because that is what it took for us to build Strange Brew. We did it, together. My idea and vision would have DIED if not for you guys.

I love you and I will give you guys my life.

As of now, I am going to make some money. A lot of money actually.

And one fine day, we are going to get back together. As a team.
And I will fund it with an unlimited fund.
And we are going to recreate the magic by starting another magazine. Not for the money, not for the fame. But just for the sheer fuckin pleasure of reliving this awesome experience that we had. And working 20 hours a day doing ALL the jobs ourselves!
Let us, as a team, write, design, print, market, and get on the streets to sell this magazine.

I miss that rush, and I miss working with you guys.
