“Who Am I — I Am Still Asking”

“I am Nagaraja. Born 26 June 2008 in Seydunganallur — a village I hate and love simultaneously.

I live with epilepsy, neurasthenia, and trembling hands. My father is disabled. My mother carries her own illnesses. I am their only child.

I have no exceptional grades, no sporting achievements, no conventional talents.

What I have is this: a mind that cannot stop asking questions. From the Big Bang to this present moment, I want to understand everything — cosmology, history, science, psychology, politics, philosophy, human behavior.
 
I am an atheist who is endlessly amazed by the universe. I wonder what life is. I wonder what comes after.

I don’t know who I am. That question never lets me sleep.

But I am the one who keeps asking it. And I am still here.”
