Children are known to be fascinated with the moon, Chandamama, and we read in folk tales children asking mothers to get the moon to play with. Here is a Mysurean, Ashvini Ranjan, who was fascinated with aeroplanes from his childhood days, but like the child in the folk tale, who dreamed of moon but could not get it, our Mysuru’s young man also could not realise his childhood dream of becoming an aeroplane pilot. However, he was not the one to give up on his dream. He becomes a pilot at the age of 60. Read all about it in his own words.—Ed
