These are the memoirs of a 75-year-old ordinary man from Kerala, India. When COVID-19 brought the world to a halt, his memories began to race back over the years. Confined to the four walls of his house in Bangalore, separated from his friends, colleagues, and family members all over the world, he took the opportunity to retrace his paths over the years, revisit his choices, and reflect on the people and places that influenced him - all to share with his children and grandchildren.

These are the memoirs of a 75-year-old ordinary man from Kerala, India. Thomas was born in a small village in Kuttanad, Alappuzha District, Kerala. He had an eventful childhood with stressful experiences mingled with mischiefs in a rural background. After passing out of a technical college, and unable to find jobs close to home, he travelled to Pune in western India—thanks to a generous donor—to work in aerospace engineering and later to teach in the College of Military Engineering.
