I Am Alive

This book is for you if: -You are a struggling yogi with questions like "Who am I"? "Why am I here?" "What should I do next?"-You want to stop numbing the pain and truly get better. -You feel out of sorts or are trapped either at home, at work or in life. Kamala came into the world unwanted-the second girl to parents with no son, and displaying skin tone darker than her sister's. She was born in Bangladesh (East Bengal in British India, then), right before WWII and abandoned by her parents. Her grandparents raised her-a free citizen of a slave nation. In 1947, India gained independence. Kamala's village in East Bengal became East Pakistan, a Muslim nation, so she traveled to Calcutta as a teenage refugee. When fate wouldn't stop handing her unfair deals, she marched on; growing tougher outside and tenderer within.
