MOSES KOUL
Actor and Music Producer
Moses believes that his life doesn't need a grand mission, neither is he inclined towards discovering it. "There is great calm in not knowing what you're supposed to do, yet doing everything with equal gusto. I revel in approaching every endeavour with unwavering enthusiasm. This way, I find myself driven to explore a myriad of opportunities-doing as many things as I possibly can, to the best of my ability, without getting attached to anything." Moses finds freedom in not being tied to a singular idea of who he should be. "It's akin to water taking the shape of its container or a cat playfully hopping from one box to another-adapting and enjoying the journey as it unfolds."
Acknowledging his achievements, explains the Class actor, "would greatly diminish the idea of success in my head because I've just set up the scaffolding and bare bones of a much greater future that I want to build on." Moses, for the most part, is uncertain of what success should feel or look like. "So, for now, what has changed is that I have access to do multiple things-that's been my greatest achievement." Moses has come to embrace apathy as a desirable trait. "While stoicism has its merits, I believe that with the power to influence the world around me comes the responsibility to feel, to connect, and to be vulnerable." One step at a time, the multi-hyphenate aims to dismantle the walls he once built to protect himself...it's a continuous effort that begins with self-love and empathy. While his path may seem unconventional, even selfish to some, it's one he has chosen consciously.
