A Story in Everything I See!
“One thing I couldn’t figure out was, while the rest of the family and friends were appreciative of my newly found talent of writing, that too at the ripe age of 70 years, my daughter’s hackles would always rise at the sight of my printed articles.
First I assumed it to be jealousy. But later, when I decided to compile my articles and publish them in the form of a book for posterity and she offered to correct the proofs, I could somewhat understand her attitude to my creative efforts.
Basically, the difference between the two of us lay in the fact that while I was brimming with ideas, finding a story in every everyday event, she was an experienced editorial person in charge of an internationally known and well produced science journal.”
