well, below points are not matching somehow :

-------------------------------------- Just like many Indians of my generation, I spent my childhood in a single bedroom rented house. Every evening, my brother and I would sit in front of an oil lamp and study, mostly maths and science. -----------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------ My father has been a software engineer since the 90s and my brother is an absolute rockstar with computers. We didn’t have cartoons in TV back in our childhood but had our hands on keyboard ever since I could possibly remember. ---------------------------------------------

So you operated the computer / keyboard using oil lamp ?

Yes, "generational poverty" seems like a very strong term for something like this and is definitely incorrect contextually. The family background seems squarely middle class to me, nowhere near poverty.
