My name is Vasidhar Gemmeli, and I am a 15-year-old student of Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya (JNV). I come from a background where values, discipline, and hard work are taught every day, and at the same time, creativity and dreams are encouraged to take flight. Being a Navodaya student has shaped me not only in academics but also in my character, my way of thinking, and the way I see the world. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by stories.

Since childhood, I have been fascinated by stories. Some came from books, some from films, some from people around me, and some from my own imagination. I always felt that stories carry something magical—they can make us cry, smile, hope, or heal. They remind us that we are not alone in our struggles, and they often say the things we cannot express. Writing, for me, became a way to give shape to these feelings. At first, I wrote small notes and ideas. Slowly, those turned into short stories. And finally, with courage and determination, they led me to write my debut novel, “A Life We Almost Lived.”

This story is very close to my heart. I wrote it not just as a book, but as an emotional journey. It follows Jack, a boy who carries a promise made to his dying mother—a promise to sing for the world. Along the way, he meets Adeline, a dancer whose passion for life inspires him. Together, they experience love, dreams, fame, and heartbreak. Through their story, I wanted to show something I deeply believe: sometimes love lives beyond time, beyond distance, and even beyond life itself.

The idea for this novel came from many places. I have always admired how music and dance can express emotions better than words. I have also seen how promises, even small ones, can give strength to a person for an entire lifetime. And I have felt how short and fragile life can be, yet how powerful love and memory remain. In this book, I tried to bring all of that together.

Being only 15, many people might wonder why I chose to write about such emotional themes of love, loss, and dreams. My answer is simple: emotions have no age. Pain, joy, hope, and love can be felt at any stage of life. Writing this book helped me understand myself better and also gave me a way to share something meaningful with others.

As a student of Navodaya, I was encouraged to dream big and work hard. Writing this book was not easy—I had to balance studies, school life, and writing. There were times when I felt tired or doubted myself. But I remembered that every dream begins with one step, and this book is my first step as a writer.

I hope that “A Life We Almost Lived” touches the hearts of readers. I hope it makes them feel the power of promises, the beauty of art, and the strength of love. If even one reader finds comfort, hope, or inspiration in my words, I will feel that my effort was worth it.

This is only the beginning of my writing journey. I am young, still learning, and I know there is a long road ahead. But with every story I write, I want to grow not only as a writer but also as a human being. I believe that stories can change lives, and I want to be someone who contributes to that change.

Thank you for picking up my book and giving my words a place in your time and heart. I am deeply grateful, and I hope you carry something from this story with you, just as I carry it with me forever.
