Autobiography: Truth and Perception

I feel you need a lot of courage to write your autobiography. You are giving an open invitation for people to be judgmental about you.

You are giving people the license to comment. You become a topic of teatime, lunch hour, dinner hour, WhatsApp groups, and other social media. You might have seen life with one or two dimensions, but people see your life in multiple dimensions.

Any autobiography has two versions. One is from the writer, and the second is from the other character in the discussion or story or the thoughts of the writer. We often hear one side in the autobiography. A few biographies also speak only of professional journeys. At times, I also feel autobiographies might be like the history of kingdoms and kings, where the portrayal depended only on creating a “Wow” character out of the king or minister, their personalities, and their life instances.
