A daughter questions her relationship with her father on his deathbed. Taking a closer look at some of his challenges and his attitude towards them, provides her with greater clarity and a deeper appreciation of her dad. She realises how a homogenous family in a small village in Kerela could have evolved through three generations into a diverse global network of family and friends. There are compelling anecdotes of openness and inclusion from his immigrant life that are inspirational.
This memoir is a celebration of a simple man who was extraordinary in many ways. It is a call to discover the heroes we encounter everyday.

Dear family, friends, former colleagues, students, and those I am yet to meet,
We have made the 500 pre-order mark because of your generosity. Yipppeee!!! Thank you so much for putting your faith in me. I couldn't have done it without you.
It's been a great journey. I have learnt a lot about writing proposals and marketing my book. And I am about to learn a lot more about the publication process. I hope to be able to strike a deal with a suitable publisher who will be able to give us a book that meets high quality standards.
I am in the process of liaising with some publishers. I will keep you posted on the progress.
Thank you again for your kindness and trust.
Warm regards
Shalini
