About The Author: Kisan Upadhaya was born in 1966 in Assam India. He was abandoned, neglected, rejected and left on the side of the streets to fend for himself along with his elder sister. At age four, I worked at a restaurant washing dishes for living, while my sister Maya on the other hand becomes servant. Due to cold I became very sick and was fired from job. Thus resorted to begging on the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal. From hospital to Children’s home to USA. While at Children’s home I lost touch with my only sister also. I searched for my sister forever that I can remember. Finally in 2011, I was successful in finding my sister in remote village of Tinsukia, Assam, mother in Nepal and I at USA was reunited on live TV in India. By sharing this tragic childhood story of mine and my sister will become an avenue to many for hope and inspiration.
