This is an incredible story about my childhood and adolescence…the one revealing the graphic and disheartening dynamics of growing up and fighting for survival in an unsafe and toxic environment. Lived in a cramped home with 18 members of an extended family, used a dimly lit kerosene lamp for studies, often attended classes hungry and lived with fear in the presence of a ruthless and overly strict father. At times I thought that life was worth not living by the absence of fatherly love and lack of basic needs in my life. This is a compelling tale of my survival, my determination to study and succeed in life, and eventual redemption as my destiny took me to Bombay and from there to the United States where I found love, peace and happiness and an undying desire to live and succeed.
