I am four days away from the start of WordCamp Asia 2026. Everything is in execution mode now. No more planning. No more what-ifs. It is the time to be fully in the moment.
As one of the co-leads of WordCamp Asia, this journey has been a long one. It started with a visit to Manila last year. Over a year of work has gone into this.
I have collaborated with people across several countries. Leading them has been an interesting experience. I say interesting because I am an anarchist at heart. Titles like “lead” and “manager” have never fit me like a glove. I really dislike attracting attention to myself. Often, I have had to do that by being at the helm of affairs. Yet here I am.
It is Saturday evening as I write this. A quiet one. But next Saturday will be a different story. I will relax in Mumbai at the after party.
I know what is coming. There will be fun moments and long chats. There will be some irritating moments and some chaos. There will be a lot of really well-executed things. And then it will all be over, just like that.
If you are curious about what we have lined up, check out the schedule.
I can already see my post-WordCamp self. I will make some tea. I will finally dig into the ever-growing stack of books I have ignored for the past four or five months. The busyness stole my reading time. I will want it back!
I can see myself watching some cricket again. I can see the hour long walks returning into my routine. All of it very soon!
But that is later. Right now, if you are reading this and can make it to Mumbai, join us. WordCamp Asia 2026 is going to be a lot of fun. Grab your event pass and come be part of it.
I wonder if I will get some time to do some live blogging from the event. Ambitious, I know. But let’s see, it is a “WordPress” flagship event afterall!
