Abstract
Every journey is a story. It begins with a story and ends with one, too. And it’s important to narrate and document every story, because each one is unique. My personal journey of being an Associate at the Azim Premji Foundation is a story that began a year ago --- in October 2020, to be precise. The world was still reeling from the effect of the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The second wave --- deadlier than the first --- was only a few months away. The pandemic changed the course of the Associate programme for the 2020-21 batch, placing very different roles and responsibilities on the shoulders of each Associate on the field. The roles and responsibilities came with big and small learnings. The learnings led to milestones, both professional and personal. And all of this went into the pages of a diary that has been my companion for the last one year. Today, as I write this, the diary is the repository of all the moments that made my journey special. It is not just a frame of reference for the career I have chosen.It is also a montage of people --- mainly two government schoolteachers and 50students from the first and second grades --- and places that have helped me onin my life as an Associate. I hope this document brings joy and contentment to my parents, who have always supported me in my decisions and life choices. I also hope that aspiring Associates find emotional resonance in my experiences.
