Things I am grateful about 2025- #4 Meeting Abhi and Niyu at Narita Airport

2025 became a year of full circle moments for me.

YouTube has long been my source of learning as well as entertainment. Among many channels I followed, one stood out for its clarity and purpose. Abhi and Niyu . Their tagline, “Fark Padta Hai” (It Matters), truly did matter to me.

I had been watching their videos since 2019, along with channels like Veritasium, VSauce, sentdex, and others. I still have an old notebook where I studied their video editing style, storytelling, and the way they presented knowledge. Back then, I often imagined scenarios of meeting them someday, never knowing when or how that might happen.

On my return journey to India, something unexpected happened. Abhi and Niyu were on the same flight. I first noticed Abhiraj at the airport. I was nervous and hesitant to approach him. Later, during the flight, I gathered the courage to speak to him.

What followed was a simple yet meaningful conversation. Talking to him gave me insights into his mindset, humility, and clarity. It was a small moment, but one that stayed with me. A reminder that learning often comes full circle, and sometimes life quietly brings you face to face with the people who once inspired you from a screen.
