I don’t remember much from the early years but a bunch of us studied Kannada in middle and senior schools. I attended senior school with an auto-driver, a cricketer, a giraffe, a senior mug pot, another mug pot, a pianist, a geek, a brainiac, a Bong, a lawyer and a pilot.”

• Rohan has been an avid programming enthusiast. Sharing his childhood experience, he said,

We had a clunky old machine at home that my father used to work on sometimes. I was a bored eight-year-old whose only non-school activity was playing tennis. I didn’t read, have friends or any hobbies. One day, I turned on the computer and started poking about. My father got upset and yelled at me saying I should do something more creative. My mother put me in an evening class where they taught basic programming thrice a week. The people in my class were all working adults. Nothing made sense to me, a fourth-grader, but I stuck on. After six months, we had to work on a project and I started building a checkout-cum-inventory programme for a neighbourhood grocery store. Suddenly, everything I learned clicked; it was very exciting. Those were the pre-internet days, and I would go to the library looking for books with problems that I could write code for.”
