The Kid We Forgot
About this ebook
The Kid We Forgot is a raw, deeply personal memoir about rediscovering the joy, curiosity, and open-heartedness we quietly trade away for "being practical." Through childhood memories, the loss of a father, an unlikely bond with Michael Jackson's artistic spirit, and a hard look at how social media steals our presence, this book asks a simple question: can you become wiser without becoming hard?
If you've ever postponed happiness for "someday," felt pressured to be tougher than you are, or wondered where your sense of wonder went — this is your reminder that the kid inside you isn't gone. He's just waiting to be remembered.
A short, honest, page-turning read on grief, authenticity, inner-child healing, and living fully — right now, not later.

About the author
I'm Ravinandan Tanmay. By day, I work as a Strategic HR Partner. By everything else, I write.
I've authored 26 ebooks so far ranging from — self-help, metaphysics, conscious living, spiritual philosophy, science fiction & historical fiction on figures like Karna and Chandragupta Maurya. I've authored several short eBooks from things I've actually lived through, like overthinking, procrastination, and stress. My work has hit #1 simultaneously across multiple Amazon bestseller categories, and I'm a 3x World Record holder — recognized for the most simultaneous Amazon Kindle Top 10 rankings by an independent author and for the most simultaneous #1 positions held independently.
Every one of my primary works is free. Not because I don't value the writing — I do — but because I would rather let you read it and decide for yourself than pay upfront to trust a stranger. Read first. Trust comes after, if it really comes.
I'm not writing these for income — I have a job for that. What I'm actually after is slower and simpler: to be read, to be trusted, and to leave something behind that still means something once I'm not around to explain it.
Outside writing: I love football, art, dance, and conversations that actually go somewhere.
