On 10th May 1976, a boy was born in a distant suburb in Mumbai. The small boy after 29 years grows up to be…………..me.
I thought I should start with a dramatic sentence, just for effects. I used to read these types of sentences in my history books or those biographical essays in “Chandamama”. I complete [...]
