Being asked to describe myself makes me kind of nostalgic, why, wasn’t it the topic for our extempore in 1st standard? Jokes apart, the first word that comes to my mind is “bibliophile”.
I can’t choose a favourite genre. I just LOVE books — hardcover, paperback, sometimes e-books (sometimes only), old editions, latest editions, collector’s edition, self-help, mystery, science fiction, mythology, informative, spiritual et al. I’ve been a merit-holder, having bagged every possible academic award in school.
I deem it befitting to mention that I have bagged prizes in numerous competitions, including those organised by Competition Success Review, WE NGO, among others. I have harboured a knack for writing since childhood
I find inspiration in the works of Robin Sharma, Steve Jobs, Rashmi Bansal, Preety Sengupta, Albert Schweitzer, Dan Brown and Demi Lovato and of course, many of my teachers. My favourite one-liner is, “Hope is a rope that swings you through life.”
