His grandmother had presented him with a fine bird's eggs cabinet, but he could never bring himself to risk in climbing trees.
Once or twice he dissected dead birds from sheer determination to overcome his horror of the operation.

Again he was pitying himself for what he could never be.

Nehru was a many sided personality. He enjoyed reading and writing books as much as he enjoyed fighting political and social evils or residing tyranny. In him, the scientist and the humanist were held in perfect balance. While he kept looking at special problems from a scientific standpoint. He never forgot that we should nourish the total man.
As a scientist, he refused to believe in a benevolent power interested in men's affairs. But, as a self proclaimed non-believer, he loved affirming his faith in life and the beauty of nature. Children he adored. Unlike Wordsworth, he did not see them trailing clouds of glory from the recent sojourn in heaven. He saw them as a blossoms of promise and renewal, the only hope for mankind.

a complex personality
a secretive person
