<strong>A page from the personal diary of Parul Chauhan</strong> Whenever I look at the hustle and bustle of Mumbai, I am reminded of my childhood and how my life has changed over the years. I spent my childhood in Lakhimur Kheri – the largest district in Uttar Pradesh and had a very simple living. My father was a government employee in Uttar Pradesh and we come from a very middle class family. I stayed there till I completed my plus two, after which I wanted to move to a big town to study engineering.
