Venkata Kiran Kumar Nerella Talks About His Book “Naalaayak 2 Laayak”
About the Author:
An Indian upper-middle-class individual grew up the social ladder by toiling, paying taxes, fearing God, and not breaking a single rule: a devout Hindu, an empathetic individual, and a patriot. I graduated in Agricultural Sciences, so I have a glimpse of Rural exposure, though it is dated. I have been an Urbanite by birth and all my life. I am a postgraduate in business management and working at an Indian IT MNC. I recently started to pursue my hobbies. I grew up reading Panchatantra and Chandamama comics, so I developed a skill for hearing the unheard. Likes travel, driving, and watching YouTube to keep abreast of Geopolitics
