I now need to decide what next. The first thought was to understand where I am.
It surprised me that I could not recall concrete events which helped me understand my perceptions about my life!
The few events I can recall mostly relate to failure or embarrassment :)
May be I will force myself to write some of them and that may trigger some more memories.
The first memory I have is the result I am sure of being told by my parents.
I was a quick learner and had learnt to read at an early age. My father wanted my grandmother to learn to read. He got her started but she would be confused by the letters.
She found it easier to ask me rather than my parents. I suppose I exclaimed that how many times had I told her that. She then said that I was right and she was too old to learn.
Update: On reflection, a great deal of my behaviour later on in life is quite possibly influenced by that event. I still feel guilty about it.
