Legacy...

First love letter—Wrote my first love letter to Roberto Baggio, when I was all of 8 years. The letter was written in hindi, as a part of my third language assignment in the fourth standard.

Cricket aspirations: Was to become Mrs. Mohd. Azharuddin—found him very handsome (yaks!!!!!) at that age. Fall back option was Ajay Jadeja in case things did not go as planned with Azhar.

Movie Connections: As in all girls school, I had my fair share of followers. I distinctly remember some school kids comparing me to the hero of Maine Pyar Kya (hero, ay?? )

Sainthood dreams: Every time I was rebuked, I wrote a letter to Mother Teresa wanting to be a nun. I must have written more than 15000 letters to her. (yeah, you got it right-- I wasn’t exactly the model child and had enough reasons to be scolded)

Altruistic tendencies: Hated regular food. The brother and I got a good spanking from the parents when in the absence of elders, we invited a ragged beggar, made him sit at our dining table and fed him our food at the age of 10-11. Thankfully, the beggar was no crook or else God save us.

First real ambition: Was to become a maid, a house help, so that I would be allowed to wash utensils at home and avoid the grill of student life.

First Real Crush: Oh..so many. Anyone who had a good voice and was a good orator, I was immediately floored. So many heart breaks I must have suffered.

The list continues…. more on this later. Stay connected.
