What does freedom really look like? For some, it’s a big leap — for others, it’s something as simple as waking up after sunrise or skipping the curry leaves on the plate. In this episode, I take you through my journey from a deeply disciplined childhood in Sri Lanka to discovering unexpected freedoms in a hostel in India. While others struggled with homesickness, I found joy in the little liberties — no fixed meal times, no one checking if I finished my veggies, and the sheer wonder of living life on my own terms. This one’s a nostalgic, funny, and heartfelt reflection on how freedom doesn’t always come with a bang — sometimes, it just quietly changes your world.
