Not the Perfect Indian Daughter is a true story about breaking free from expectations, silence, and the roles we’re told to play. This memoir follows a young Indian woman who spent her life trying to do everything “right” being the obedient daughter, pursuing success, and living up to everyone’s ideals. But behind the image of perfection was someone slowly losing touch with herself. A series of life-changing events led her to leave behind the familiar and step into the unknown. In a new country, she began the hardest and most important journey of all: becoming who she truly is. Through moments of heartbreak, deep reflection, and bold choices, she discovered that real strength isn’t about meeting expectations, it’s about writing your own story. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by society, cultural norms, or the fear of not being enough, this book is for you.
