My father told me that when I had just started walking, I used to do many notorious things like pulling my elders’ hair, biting them, spitting on them, hitting kids my age, and being very stubborn.

My cousins used to call me 'Chhoti Gundi' (Little gangster) 😭

My father used to bring me dolls to play with, but I didn’t really play with them. Instead, I took off their hands, legs, and heads, and placed them in the wrong places—like hands where the legs should be, and legs where the hands should be. I even put the head on backwards! I invented new types of creatures, felt proud of them, and showed them to my dad.

Honestly, I felt a little guilty when my dad told me, that I used to break those dolls and create strange creatures out of them—dolls that my father bought with his hard-earned money just to bring a smile to my face.

When I grew up, I understood that I wasn’t breaking—I was just curious. Children often explore the world in curious, creative ways. I was inventing, imagining, and expressing my creativity in my own way. His gift did bring me joy. And now that I understand its value, that’s growth and maturity.
