Valencia de Souza


I chose this picture first of all because I don’t have any other childhood picture with me in Mumbai. This picture is of when I was not even 2 years old. This picture was taken with our dog. I was told by my mother that I used to play with this dog most of the times. She also said that I cried very very badly when he passed away. My character in this picture is completely opposite of my character at present. It is because I am not at all fond of dogs. I am in fact scared of them because I had bad experiences with them. Such as, once when I was going on my Activa, two stray dogs came running behind me, I was about to fall off, but I survived. When I was 11 years old, I almost had a dog bite. But when I was small, I used to find ways to go to play with my dog. And now it took me two weeks to know the name of our own dog as I don’t go close to him.



I was out with some of my college friends from Goa, when they visited Mumbai. This picture which I clicked was when my friends said that I lost weight after coming to Mumbai. I was happy and clicked my picture.

I love to write fiction stuff. I have dream of becoming a well known writer of India just like Mr. Chetan Bhagat. He being from science and engineering background, is much more successful writer than majority of Arts students of the country. I am also from Commerce background and I admire him to the core for his hard work and writing skills. After 10 years, I will be in my early 30’s, I would love to be at the same level, or at least close to the level at which he is now.

Is a smiling face the only way to show happiness? You say your friends said that you had lost weight and that made you happy. Is that all? You say you want to be a writer and is this all you are going to be telling us? I want you to write at least one full page describing the moment you win your first writing award. Fiction, of course ;)
