“In my childhood I was obsessed with cameras but could not afford one. After much persuasion my father Harivansh Rai Bachchan bought me a box camera which I treasured for years. Initially I clicked trees and nature and as I grew up started noticing prettier things-motorbike, sleek cars and cool girls.

School is either pure torment or is going fantastically. Other people are either great or horrible, and they themselves are wonderful or pathetic failures.
