I was so ugly and bad-tempered as an infant, that my mum said she would have willingly given me away. Maybe, she was only joking. But then she did. An old family aunt, a spinster, asked for me, and I was given away, when I was all of five months, and promptly whisked away to Bombay from Ranigunj in Bengal, where I was born.
