In the year 1993 (or maybe 94), while helping my younger brother with his English assignment, I stumbled upon a story by Eric Arthur Blair, popularly known as George Orwell. After learning that the interesting fable was part of a larger piece of work, I read Animal Farm and loved its allegorical depiction of Russia under Stalin, a perfect example of a great revolution going wrong. Then, I found out that Orwell was born in Motihari, my home district. And the discovery of this fact made me wonder if I could be an internationally acclaimed writer like him.
