"My attempt to chronicle my life experiences was influenced by the fact that I did not want to forget what I had faced, whether it was a triumph or a low point for me, because each experience has helped me to become who I am today. These failures and successes have all contributed to my transformation, making me who I am "Becoming" today. I have faced the challenges of life straight on, facing them all squarely and obtaining all I achieved. Life has thrown me curveballs (sometimes even dung balls!), but I have faced them bravely, and during the course of life, I learned who I have been by my own yardstick, not by what the rest of the world believes success is. If you are someone aspiring for bigger things in life, or someone fighting a desperate situation, or even someone just bored of your ordinary life, I am sure my journey will inspire you."--Dr. Kamala K.
