Every life begins with laughter, play, and the gentle touch of innocence.

Innocent Beginning is a heartfelt journey into the world we all once knew — a world of small joys, festivals filled with color, rainy afternoons of paper boats, and the quiet lessons hidden in play. Through vivid storytelling and tender reflections, MD Ismail Ansari captures the essence of childhood in all its purity and complexity — the laughter, the mischief, the friendships, the first shadows of fear, and the echoes that remain long after innocence slips away.

This book is not just a memoir of growing up — it is a mirror that invites every reader to pause, remember, and rediscover their own childhood. Whether it is the warmth of family, the curiosity of school days, or the bittersweet moment when innocence quietly leaves, these pages remind us that childhood never truly ends.

It waits within us — in memories, in laughter, in love — whispering always of where we began.
