I have stopped telling my story to people, after observing the avoidance that the people indirectly/directly try to impose when I start. Many are scared that I might ask for help, financial or non-financial, and start acting distant after giving philosophical advice. But, I'm different. I have never ever asked for a single penny from anyone. I and my daughter, survive with my meager PhD scholarship that I receive Obviously IITB's policy for residential accommodation for married research scholars has been a great help. Till this date, from the time I was born, I have never asked for a single penny from anyone. I have always been a giver, but have never been a receiver.  I will be employed soon, and I promise my little one of a much better life thereafter. She is keenly waiting for that : she wants me to take her to Taj Mahal after I get a job :).
