The people who influenced me most I think are my parents in early years. They gave me a solid foundation and a great start to life.

Then I had some outstanding teachers who knew how to bring joy to the outcome of my learning, especially my Sanskrit and social studies teachers.

I met some people in my life from whom I learnt how I never want to be and I am most thankful to them. One is bitter, another selfish and greedy. The casualities they leave behind is incredible and isolating. They are a great warning to me.

How about you? Who has influenced your life most?
