Foreword
I have always known that I am who I am because some others had influenced me, helped to mould me, taught me, affected my way of thinking and deciding the paths I have chosen in my life.

I am but a mediocre person, not too healthy in my youth, not too accomplished in learning and work. But I have been blessed all these years by accidental choices, what should have been failures turning out to yield fortunate outcomes. Many boys and girls have uplifted me to enjoy great and – undeserved, I thought – heartwarming times.

As is said, “my cup runneth over”.

I am not religious, I just accept philosophical judgements. But “maybe someone up there likes me.”

So much I owe to my parental family, my own family, my wife’s family, my many friends … some occupying places in my heart even now.
