I was a very shy guy, never used to mingle easily, till I got my first job, but I always had been lucky to have good number of friends, ma
y be because I was very polite and of helping nature. Sports were another area where I always excelled. I was good in Cricket, Chess, Badminton, Carom, whatever sports or game I got a chance to play, I did good in that. I have played lots of Kabaddi, Gilly-Danda and did some Patangbaaji tooJ. Overall my childhood was like a dream, I would always love to see again and again, I used to wake up every morning and see the Mount Everest, I can’t believe 25 years have been passed since then. I am very crazy about visiting and exploring new places, specially jungles and hills.
My father was having a transferable job and every time he used to get a transfer, I had to go through a similar process of leaving everything behind, friends, places, school, river, ponds, trees… I have grown up with these experiences. Sometimes I feel scared to think that I have studied in 7 schools before I completed 10th.

Only thing that I could take away every time was sweet memories of those childhood days, scattered through places.. with different cultures, different people, different times… it used to be a painful phase, leaving people has always been the most difficult thing for me to do and I still find myself in a very difficult situation when I have to leave someone... I left so many friends when we moved from Nepal border to Jamshedpur, again when we left for Patna and then again when I moved to Bangalore... I wish, we had internet those days, at least I could have taken their email ids... Alas... I have lost all of them... No one I could find, in fact no one...
