Dinachandra Karamcha

The obvious answer to this question is that I am Karam Dinachandra Singh. But this doesn't define who I am in person, the answer to the question cannot be found in a person birth certificate, his/her religion or diploma, but it is found in a person heart and soul of a person.

I'm also 25 years old... although my brain can't seem to get past the teens stage most of the time. So, I am just a typical teenager, who loves the technology and fun? Our world has adapted in the 21st century. I was born in India, Manipur in a Meetei family, just Six pounds, always crying and ready to take pictures. I grew up in a normal sized house with a mother, father, 2 brothers and 3 sisters. My mother left when I was in 5 grades, it was a big step for my dad, but I was glad my dad was freed from a tormented life. Even though I've been through tough times, I managed to have a pretty normal life, my dad took care of us in any way possible, and he gave up his life dreams to pursue ours. My grandparents were open minded people who believed in offering my dad a chance to pick his future, however living in Manipur limited my father’s choices. The society and its traditions were always in the way.

Whenever I sit back and think what if I were born in a different family, would I be more happier than now, I always get the same answer; No, never I am very blessed to have a dad who loves me so much, and supports me in any decision I make. This gives me the courage strives to accomplish my goal even if it means that I will have to face more changes and adaptations to new places and new people.
