Daughter of a newspaper publisher, life comes full circle for author Nirmal Yadav as her book goes into print. Born in a small town of Haryana, Nirmal married a soldier at the age of twenty-one and signed up for three decades of a nomadic life—living, learning and unlearning, all around the country, eventually with two kids in tow. While her husband led a regiment, she chose to lead a classroom and spent many years teaching. Finding herself in the predicament of no longer anchoring her family’s life, her children having grown up and gone, she took a courageous leap towards a new career. She trained as a psychotherapist and rediscovered herself while helping others in turmoil. Nirmal has spent a good part of her life working at various social service organizations.
