Priyesh Raj

Dad:- Beta, abhi bahut important exam hai, abhi padhai karoge saara time aaram karoge... Me:- Jee Papa... Padh hi rahe hain.. Dad:- Lo Bade papa baat karenge.. Me:- Ok Bade papa: Babu abhi padh loge so saara time aaram se beetega.. Me: Ok bade papa, padhai chal rahi hai... This was the conversation I used to have daily with my Dad and Uncle. It was routine back then and every part of that conversation is still itched deep in my memory. After all It was time of qualifying exams, which in India we know as BOARDS. A brand new state was formed in year 2000, Jharkhand. Actually, 3 states were formed in that year, taking the count to 28. If Vallabh Bhai would have been in present era, he would have been very sad.

So writing about stories was out of question (I really appreciate those who have this talent, helps a lot in life). Suddenly a bright idea. Why not pen down a bit of introspection for the decade passed by. After all maturing from adolescense to adulthood is not a small fact. Person goes through lot in this phase ...
