Latika Tripathi has told her story with honesty, which is very compelling and rare. For an Indian woman to bare her soul and talk about relationships, rejection and pain is not easy. She has re-counted some of her life’s stories with great clarity, and you can’t but learn some lessons through her experiences. Definitely a book many will identify with, whether Indian or not.

Latika Tripathi has been able to capture the various emotions that each Indian woman can identify with at some point in her course of life. Reading this book will definitely give us the courage to explore and walk on an untrodden path. The book left me with a feeling of empowerment and a wish to live my dreams and follow them with a conviction.

Wow!!!! This is all I cud say after reading the first chapter from your book... Frankly, I started it with a critical view... but concluded with a complete contrast one. :) Really loved the way you have expressed one of the essential ways to grow a child i.e. how important it is for parents to be co-ordinating and having or following a proper way to raise their child. so that the child is not "confused"...

Anyways, I guess the confusions and its consequences proved fortunate in your case...

However, I felt bad to read that such a strong woman could also feel at some point of time...'her life has no purpose' and a need to end it .....

Tempted to read more about Latika or Purvi :)

A friend of yours, Suju suggested your book, “So Be It,” by doing so I have both of you to thank. I must say I was struck by the similarities between being a woman in the Indian culture, and being a woman brought up in the southern regions of the U.S. Personally it took a slap in the face epiphany to realize I was much more than a daughter, wife, and business owner. Those titles were what I thought defined my worth in the world; and it took being forced into self discovery for me to RE-cover what I didn’t know I had lost. Those lessons were a bitter pill to take at the time, but the results have proven to be ohhh so worth the work.

The degree of bravery it took to dissect, extract, and share with the world your quest for inner peace takes an amazing amount of character. Thank you for being so honest with your experience, I am a better woman for having read them.
