“changes were hard.  It was like I was giving birth to a completely new person.  At times, I really wanted to, and at times I completely hated it and just wanted to forget everything and go back to whom I was.  It was too complicated, and I wished that life could just be straightforward and simple. ”

“As much as money doesn't make the world go around, it definitely alters one's own world. My situation is different from a lot others in India, for the simple reason, I've been raised in a middle class family in a metropolitan city.  And not a lot of children, are privileged to grow up under the same circumstances.”
- Nayan Srivastava

” When i started playing a lot more music, and thinking about it seriously as a career.  When my grandmother started losing her memory, made me see a lot of things about life. Convincing me as an atheist. Another event was a major car crash that my family and i were a part of in New York.  It made me a lot more careful about things, but it also made me a lot more carefree about a lot of things.”

“At the age of 15, when the metro came to Gurgaon, for me was when I grew up. Using public transport on my own was a major factor that contributed to me becoming independent.
But being a girl, I grew up between the ages of 13 and 15 various incidents caused me to evolve emotionally.”

”With every evening that went by when my brother and I would stay at home alone, I felt more responsible for myself and for another person.

“I stopped being an individual and started identifying myself as just a member of a group. At that time, I only wanted to fit in, rather than be myself. But with time, that has changed too. 
Change is constant, and I’m still young.  I know that somewhere along the line I’m going to change again, and those changes are going to turn me into a whole different person. “
