View all responses

A life lived with full of facts without any biases.

This will be the opening sentence of my autobiography. There are many secrets in everyone’s life. Those secrets are shared with only God in our lifetime.

But few secrets have a great burden on oneself and it feel relieved once you make it open. All the ‘classified’ things in my personal life.

Often, it won’t be possible, because, as they say, “few secrets need to be secrets”, for a common good.

We read many autobiographies which reveal too many shocking things. It changes the whole perception about that person.

But to know this, he or she, at that point of time don’t care about it.

For my autobiography, if at all I will write one, will ask my publisher to print only when I will be not in this world.

The secrets I mentioned would be –

• How few closed ones didn’t make me feel the one I am.
• Many things in my mind for many people around me from school to work
• And finally something about a very special person
