Here is a story: Rahul used to sit on the same park bench every evening at 6 PM. No phone. No book. Just him, watching the world go by. People always thought he was strange. What they didn’t know was that Rahul was fighting a silent war inside his mind. Rahul wasn’t just tired. He was invisible to the world. One evening, a little girl came running and stopped near his bench. “Why are you always alone?” she asked. Rahul smiled gently and said, “Sometimes being alone helps you hear yourself.” She blinked, confused but curious. She sat beside him and pulled out her sketchbook. They didn’t talk much. But in that shared silence, something in Rahul softened. She came again the next day. And the day after. One day, she handed him a drawing of him, on that bench, with light all around. “You looked like someone who needed light,” the little girl said. That night, Rahul wept quietly. Not because he was weak — but because someone finally saw him. And that changed everything. He didn’t go back to job boards. He opened his laptop and began designing something he wished he had when he was at his lowest. A companion. A quiet space. A voice of light. I'm building that too. Like Rahul, I’ve seen the dark side of silence. We are working on a mental health app that feels less like a product — and more like that bench. A space to sit, breathe, reflect and heal.
