Reflections – 1

I was born on March 23, 1986 at 11:55 pm at Goradevi Hospital, the first baby to pop out in that place that day. It is amazing how many births can take place in five minutes at the same hospital. But in India we make babies fast. Compare that to implementation of rules and laws or justice on relevant issues and you will have a good lesson in Relativity.

I was raised well by my mother and father. My childhood was your usual run-of-the-mill daddy-I-want-this-daddy-I-want-that kind of affair. Nothing special. By now you know that I am a whiny person. I even thought of getting a terminal disease or being in an accident or even being orphaned in order to be special. I know, it was-is-sick. But that was the way I was.
