Would you call me crazy if I said I don’t need a house, don’t need the TV, the car, the sofa, the dining table, the Fridge, utensils, cooler, suits, and a ton of stuff that we all keep inside 4 walls and rate our success in life with how much more we can stuff within those walls?
Would you call me mad, a lunatic, if I said life can be lived on a single backpack?
It’s 3:00 am, I’m awake despite being sick and short of breath due to Asthma.
Meditated for a bit, feels better now.
Dark room, silent surroundings with everyone asleep, good for thought process.
Two months, I’ve backpacked Malaysia and Singapore for 2 reasons.
- To find investors for my start-up and
- To assess if I can survive with one backpack.
A backpack with life’s essentials is all I seem to need. Pudu Raya Bus Terminal, Malaysia .. waiting for bus to Singapore.
As I reflect on my thoughts and feelings I went through while backpacking, I do not seem to need my urban luxuries of life to make anything better of it.
My car, the TV, and the seemingly un-ending list of items stuffed in the apartment, I can survive without it.
With the goals I have set for my life, none of this matters.
All I need is a laptop, and few clothes.
Should an Indie game developer need more than that?
Working on my upcoming game. One laptop, a drawing tablet and access to Internet – thanks to a host who gave me shelter.
I always knew my life isn’t going to be about settling down at a place.
I’ll never fit in a society, a structure or an organisation, or the very nature of people to own more materialistic things of life to climb that social ladder, the society with it’s rules that I can’t find a logic too.
Quit my job 4 years ago to do what I love.
Toured quite a few places in India on my motorbike, but something is still holding me back.
Yes! the Possessions I have. Possession of things in life that needs you to stuff them inside 4 walls and call it home, are holding me back.
I need to let go to experience new things this world has to offer.
I need to make more friends, I need to meet more good people with positive vibes around the globe, see the world and immerse myself in the nature/beauty/history/stories that Earth has to offer.
This is it. I have to do this.
There is no reason to wait any longer.
I need to travel without boundaries,
I NEED to be FREE!
So, here’s a list of stuff that I’m giving up from my current life. (Click to go to the link)
A lot of “Free GiveAways to Friends” yay!, and a few things on sale. 🙂

Pantai Tengah beach, Langkawi, Malaysia.
Nice place to sit and think of game ideas.
