Garg's mother started working as a clerk at the library of the Indian Railways after his father passed away. This is when he could access books and magazines that he wouldn't have been able to afford.
Sharing his story, Garg wrote, ''When I lost my father about 35 years ago, my mom started working as a clerk for Indian railway's library, meant for executives/staff. We had very little means, could not afford much including books… I would sneak in to read all possible things I was interested in…''.
