eating wor..

Its been 10 days since chicklet no. 2 has joined.
And I’m going to eat my words.
Besides letting her just be and read up on whatever she takes a fancy to, I’ve also been spending time with her. Ideating. Letting her get a hang of how we function. And I’ve been involving her on the project I’m neck deep buried in. It’s refreshing to see 18yr olds to be so sorted in their heads. She actually understands brands. And has clear cut fresh ideas that actually work. A new perspective on everything. And since the kind of stuff I work on involves a lot of young teen and kids, it is wonderful to hear her views on it, and let go of my own school and college experiences that happened more than a decade ago. I think this is one of the biggest lessons for a creative person – to stay humble. Because there are going to be chicklets and chikoos who are going to beat you at your own game. And the true test of the person you are is that point – that moment when you know someone half your age with zero experience comes up with something brilliant and you actually feel super proud.
