Bengaluru Became the Home Sakshi Never Expected
Sakshi shared how Bengaluru became a place where she could feel at home.
She said she moved there because she needed shelter, not because she was chasing opportunities.
Before that, she felt pressure to act like someone she no longer wanted to be.
Starting over was scary because she felt she had no home to return to if things went wrong.
In Bengaluru, she found room to make mistakes, grow and learn about herself.
She also found people who supported and cheered her on.
Sakshi said home can be found in small moments, routines, laughter and love.
She encouraged people who do not feel at home yet to give themselves a chance to change their story.
Sakshi said she moved to Bengaluru seeking shelter, not career opportunities.
She described leaving behind the pressure to maintain an identity that made others comfortable.
She said she had to build a life from scratch, with no home to return to if she failed.
Sakshi credited Bengaluru with giving her room to change, face setbacks and discover herself.
She said friends became a supportive “village” and urged others to give themselves a chance to change their stories.
