My first Burning Man was a life-changing moment, even more so now that I look back eight years later.
I first heard about Burning Man in 2014 during lunchtime discussions at work. At the time, I thought it was a wild festival where hippies partied hard with blasting music. I wasn’t into that, so it didn’t interest me. But in 2016, when my friend Rahul asked if I wanted to go to Burning Man, I said let’s go.
