THIS IS MY STORY... HAS SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENED TO YOU TOO? Episode 1: Who Am I & My Childhood

WHO AM I?

Hello guys, hello friends,
My name is Himanshu Chandel. I am an Indian and a resident of India. I live in the hilly region of northern India, in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.
Today, I am going to tell you about every experience of my life. I will also tell you bitter truths—truths that many people may want to hear. Maybe someone else has gone through something similar, maybe not. Not everyone is the same. Everyone has their own story.
From childhood until today, one thing I have learned is to believe in myself. No matter who the person is—your parents, your brothers and sisters, or your friends—they will support you and pay attention to you as long as you are useful to them.
That does not mean that I have a bad family or a bad circle of friends. In fact, I come from a very good family. I belong to a middle-class family and I am grateful for my life. I thank God for giving me birth in a family where I get food not just once, but two or three times a day. There are many people in this world who do not even get one proper meal.

MY SEARCHING NATURE

Since childhood, I have always been a curious and searching person. I keep looking for something new all the time.
Even today, I feel that I am different from many people. I do not think the way an ordinary person thinks. I do not want to think the way others think. I want to think in my own way.
But what exactly I want from life, from this world, and from this universe—I still do not fully know. I know that I am searching for something, but even today I cannot clearly tell what that thing is.





MY CHILDHOOD

Like other children play with their friends, we used to take our cows into the forests for grazing. We spent a lot of time there and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The amount of fun we had is difficult for me to describe in words.
The changes in my life started around 2015 and 2016. That was the time when I started feeling that maybe we were growing up and responsibilities were slowly approaching us.
During childhood, we played hide and seek, catching games, swings, marbles, gotiya, tying ropes to trees and many other traditional games.
All my brothers and sisters, from the youngest to the oldest, spent wonderful times together. The memories are beyond words.

                                         


MY SCHOOL LIFE

When I went to school, I was not very good at studies. I had friends there, but I also lived in my own separate world.
If someone behaved badly with me or tried to fight with me, I would remain calm and tolerate it. You could say that I was a decent and simple person.
However, as I grew older, I realized that being too innocent can sometimes become a weakness.
At home, I studied and completed my homework. There was a lot of pressure from schoolwork.
I watched television and especially cartoons. I loved cartoons and I still do. My childhood may have passed, but the child inside me has never left.

                                       


MY PRIVATE WORLD

I loved listening to songs and I loved dancing too, but only inside my room.
I have always been the kind of person who does not like showing off in public.
Many people told me:
"If you can dance so well, why don't you perform in front of people?"
But I never liked that idea because I wanted inner satisfaction.
I never wanted to show everything about myself to others.
I loved solitude. I loved peace.
I was happy with myself, and for me, that was a very big thing.
I could laugh alone. I could dance alone. I could cry alone. I could shout alone.
Even today, I sometimes do these things by myself.
There was a unique joy in experiencing my emotions privately rather than displaying them to the world.

                                      


MY PERSONALITY

I have always been someone who cannot tolerate seeing others in pain.
Whenever I saw someone sad, I tried to make them smile.
I have a humorous nature and I enjoy making jokes.
In school and among friends, I used to joke around a lot.
But later I realized that sometimes even a joke can unintentionally hurt someone's feelings.
That realization made me more careful about how I use humor.

                                     


MY DAILY ROUTINE

Every morning, the first thing I did was brush my teeth, wash my face, take a bath, light incense, pray, clean the house, eat food, and then go to school.
During school vacations, I would take the cows to the forest and spend time playing with my brothers and sisters.
The fun of those days is difficult to describe.
