LIFLINES

where do i start? about my life, family...
My parents say i was a bundle of multiple continuous Questions. i used to ask them about everything in my view, my house, about people around, world, universe....
the most interesting thing was i used to always put forward my views across any matter concerned fearlessly, rather contradicting what they said in the minutest detail.
i like stories. i used to ask everyone to tell me stories.

The person to mostly oblige my Qs & tell me stories was my dad.
my mom helped me in smoothenin my behavior. she still is my internal mirror.
my mirror (external) is my sister. the diplomatic look of me was created by my sister. she is the best diplomat i've seen well, next to me!.

my family is of diplomats.diplomacy runs in my blood.sister was my teenage pacifier.she was the first one to address my silly complaints against parents.later newspaper-the hindu, entered my life.
dad is very good at english though he studied in native language-telugu. rather he is a great imaginer using english to the fullest. he taught me many things....

english helps me to express but somehow i can't understand english as fast as in telugu. i had to often learn things by translating into telugu or imagine things.

dad used to encourage me to become well versed with english. that continued till i myself developed passion for english. i love to express myself. i also love sports. my interest in reading suddenly developed. i started reading voraciously-- reading everything i came across in english. first it was textbooks then additional textbooks, then newspaper-the hindu, then the Hardy boys novels. for most of a 3 years of my schooling i was just reading, nothing else! oops there is one more thing i used to do- watchin tv! it was young world section of the paper that taught me many things in story mode perhaps.
