About the Author:
Roald Dahl, was born on the 13th of September, 1916. He has managed to create a distinct and separate fantasy world for children while also having written significant and relevant short stories and novels for adults. “In his stories, Dahl brings to public notice the poor section of society, the difficulties faced by them, and how they find their happily ever after. All of this, he has done while maintaining the much needed connect with children of all time periods. On giving an account from a child’s perspective, he depicts the frame of thought of the adult in the story as well as the child. My favorite work would be the short story The Umbrella Man.”, said another Roald Dahl fan.

If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it.
