I spent more than a decade using community toilets while growing up and felt great relief when we finally moved into a house with a toilet inside at the age of 18.

I come from a chawl in Chinchpokli, Mumbai. I have vivid memories of feeling violated daily by people around me. These are painful and difficult memories. Because of my tragic childhood, I have an obsessive need for calm, hygiene and beauty around me now.

I prefer working from home and keeping my home calm and clean at all times. People often wonder who visit our abode at how everything looks so proper. I can’t open my heart to them immediately. Not everyone is comfortable with authenticity. But I do share my true story with a close few.

I urge each of you to cultivate a life of honesty and make more room for the meaning-making of your past experiences. Own your story, you don’t need to feel bad about growing up in a toxic environment, accept your past, and move ahead with confidence and resilience.

I have a deep connection with God because of my circumstances. I want to do more good, than harm. As a PTSD survivor, I am very grateful for my life right now. I have a family, lovely friends and a beautiful daughter to love.

I am writing my memoir right now and this is an excerpt from my new book.
