ANNOUNCEMENT :
I want to begin by apologising to every reader who’s been with me on this journey since last year and more than that, I want to thank you for your patience. Truly, it means the world to me.
I don’t want to give you any false hopes about updates on Scrollstack or the book’s completion. Right now, I’m juggling a full-time 9-to-5 internship, standing all day in the lab and then coming home to attend online coaching for entrance prep. This has been my daily routine for the past 15 days.
I joined late, so I’m already behind everyone else. I’m catching up by watching 2–3 recorded lectures every night after I get home. Sundays? They’re gone in preparation too.
Why am I telling you all this? Because I don’t want you to feel like what I promise and what I deliver are miles apart. The truth is, I barely get 20 minutes to myself before I sleep. And in those 20 minutes, I squeeze in one reel to post. That’s all the time I have. Beyond that, I’m still trying to complete my academic commitments, and there’s a reason I’ve worked hard to maintain my professional profile. I can’t afford to let that slip.
Just to give you some perspective: Imagine finally cracking an even better role in the same company where you couldn’t even clear the second round last year… only to let go of the offer because of academic commitments.
Trust me, I’ve cried. I’ve questioned my choices and doubted my entire existence more times than I can count. I’m constantly torn between what I have to do and what I want to do. And what I really, deeply want… is to write. I miss my characters more than I can explain. I want to complete this book. But I know, realistically, I can’t. Not for at least the next two weeks.
Thank you for being here still. I see you. I feel you. And I promise, I’ll be back.
Best,
R U N A .
