At school, reading Sir Max Beerbohm’s essay, titled, “As Other See Us”, I was fascinated with the premise of the thought – how do I look like to “others”. Growing up, there was realisation that the focus of wanting to be seen as good by others, was at the cost of losing the ability to see, my own self, it was beginning to wither away. Taking custody, a deliberate and directed attempt to indulge in self-introspection became part and parcel of everyday life. Just as “others” should know us, there is an imperative need to get ourselves to know ourselves.
