Keshava Rao R, a software developer by profession, I’m pleased you’re reading this. If we are meeting for the first time, let me share a little about myself. I work as a software developer, so most of my days are spent with code, bugs, deadlines, and figuring out how to make things work. But even though I deal with technology all day, life has been my greatest teacher.
Like everyone else, I’ve had moments where things went well and moments where everything seemed to fall apart. Work challenges, personal struggles, small wins, unexpected setbacks—I’ve seen a mix of all of it. And somewhere along the way, I realised something simple but powerful: Every first time carries a story inside it. Your first success, your first fear, your first mistake, your first step into something new—each one shapes you in ways you may not notice at the time.
Writing helped me understand my own journey, and slowly, I found myself assisting others to explore theirs. I began to see how people—children, teenagers, adults—hold so many memories inside them. They just need a gentle push to turn those memories into stories.
That’s why I wrote this book. Not to impress you, but to walk with you. I want you to look at your own life in a new way. To remember the moments you forgot. To see how strong you actually are. To realise that your simple, everyday experiences have meaning.
Some memories might make you smile. Some might make your heart feel heavy. Both are part of who you are. So, let’s take this journey together—slowly and honestly. Your story matters more than you think. And I’m grateful to be part of it, even in this small way.
