Dr Shailesh Mani Tiwari is the author of The Mind of Rudra. He writes for teenagers who are told too early that a rank, a label, or a comparison is the whole of them. In Rudra Sharma he follows one ordinary school year, and the years after it, to show that success is not a notice-board verdict. It is a mind that can return: to the error, to the work, to the people who tell the truth, and to the next morning.
