While I was in standard 4, Anand was in the same school in standard 1. On the first day of school, he ran into my classroom and pointed at me and his teacher. Because he was crying so hard, the teacher asked him to sit next to me for a while. That day, I saw him crying so sadly, it broke my heart. From then on, he followed me wherever I went. I was pursuing acting opportunities and after engineering was completed, he joined Amazon as an intern. He started making money early.
