Where Are My Stories?
If you were to ask of me, "Narrate an interesting story from your childhood", I would probably behave all secretive and try to change the topic. Now you may think that I am doing this because I am hiding something, but the truth is I find it hard to find things from my life that are interesting to others. I could probably tell the story of how the behaviour of teachers changed after I got good marks in mathematics in ninth standard, or the story of how I disappointed my physics teacher in the JEE coaching and you would look at me with the expression of I-asked-for-interesting-bro. And I don't blame you. For the most part of my life, I have found my joys in things that weren't very common among my peers. While I loved Beyblades and Ben 10 aliens as much as the next kid, the most enjoyable times that I spent would be with my sharpeners and erasers as characters of a hero's journey with a pen as a villain, who would often get a power upgrade when a scale was attached...
