The bicycle bell rang at the house gate and the newspaper boy dropped the newspaper. I know that I am a lazy person; still I love to go through newspapers. The hidden fact was that I always wanted to be a writer. But I was always confused about myself. I didn’t have any con?dence to come out of my shell. Years passed by, and I treasured my dream of becoming a writer. I was born in an upper middle class family in India and I had an ancestry of engineers and doctors. All of my cousins were into engineering. Automatically after my 10th grade, I was also dragged into physics and math. My family always wanted me to be an engineer. They always wanted me to uplift their heritage. The heritage of showing o? our brilliance in math and physics like Ramanujan and C.V. Raman (Indian scientists in physics and maths). But I myself didn’t know that I had fallen in love with Shakespeare and Milton.
