I am from Kolkata, West Bengal, India.


I am born on a Friday-(July 21, 2006)


I am from the love of books and literature and reading


I am from a house full of nooks and shelves-


I am from a family of writer aspirants Authors, Journalists, Poets, Novelists.


I am from the early 2000s.

I am fond of the taste of paneer with rotis.

 

Come What May.


I am from a family of educators.


When I feel a tingle, I start to mingle, that’s what my family has taught me.


I am from a family of diversity


I was born in the country famous for its spices and rich culture

 

Most importantly, I am from a family that believes in following your dreams.


Not a single thing can change that.

Every wound is nothing but a learning

 

People that make you feel inadequate are worthless

 


Every opportunity is a chance to be yourself

 

Take off your mask

 

This is what my family enforces.

 

I am from a world of creativity

This poem is one of my memoir pieces. It is considered free verse poetry with some rhyme in it. It was three pages long when I wrote it.
