Dedicated to

My Father

Professor (Dr.) Shashi Ranjan Tiwari

Our angel in heaven.

He is always with us

The Brightest, Kindest, wittiest,

naughty, most caring loving father.

Acknowledgement

My mother, Prof.(Dr)Manorama Tiwari,

Our angel on Earth.

Her smiling face, endless encouragement, clear

vision and intellect, keeps us motivated and going.

Last year was tough, her frail health,

innumerable health issues and persistent

pain, broke me several times.

She remained strong and determined.

My mother has been strong and

God has been very kind.

Thank you Omnipresent Divine!

About The Sketch Artist

B. Siri Sathvika

I grew up in the old streets of Bangalore playing football.

Writing gives me a chance to showcase my thoughts to the world I am currently preparing for the NEET exam from Narayana co-school, Hyderabad. I hope one day I will be a good physiologist…

Ilikaranjan mam is one of the people whom I am very grateful for giving me an opportunity which I can’t even dream of. I thank her from the bottom of my heart!

I also would like to thank my mom Sireesha Alaparthy who has never stopped giving me thoughtful advice and has stood like a pillar throughout my life as well as my dad Hemanth Kumar who has been very supportive in this journey. I believe that one will succeed in life if one remains strong and face all the downs with a smile. As a result of this journey, I have come to understand who I am and accept it as a part of myself.

Thank you!
