The author in me cheers and nods at the ups and downs of your journey. And you're right, there will be more shocks

+ surprises waiting for you.

The reader in me waits for the book delivery due this week.

The friend in me is in awe of your perseverance, celebrates this huge milestone and sends so much love your way.

The woman in me is hoping the quiet pride of this journey fills up all the shadows in your soul, till you sense them not as ache, but as gifts.

So so happy for you Nidhi. The world needs your wisdom, sensitivity and humour. Your book, I am sure, is a gift for us all.

It was so inspiring to read about your journey, Nidhi...I have been thinking of writing a book for years now but have a massive mental block. Hoping to break it down one bit at a time and start the process. Looking forward to reading your book too, it sounds so intriguing

Can’t wait to read it Nidhi :) - sounds very interesting. Your journey is inspiring me to also get back to my poor rejected manuscript instead of abandoning it :).
