Isha Chawla Instagram – 2016
A decade ago, life felt wilder, and I let my hair down more often.
I was laughing, creating, leaping …
less afraid of what if,
more in love with why not.
I wrote a play, planted an NGO,
painted between breaths,
let the tabla speak,
directed a small film under the Ever Victorious banner,
and stepped into projects the way one steps into sunlight …
without a care, without fear.
Now, as I look toward 2026,
I feel it’s time to invite that courage back —
the freedom, the recklessness, the yes.
But I also want to keep this calm,
this knowing that slowing down is not failure.
I don’t need to be a role model in someone else’s story.
If I can remain the protagonist of my own.
