About this ebook
From one of the writers on Schitt’s Creek and The Sex Lives of College Girls – a deeply funny and heartfelt memoir of a young woman, the product of a strict upbringing by conservative Indian parents, who decides to go on a Ram-Singha, her Indian version of the rumspringa, and learns how to dance, swim, drive, travel, and play in order to be happy.
Rupinder Gill was raised under the strict rules of her parents' Indian upbringing. While her friends were practicing their pliés, having slumber parties, and spending their summers at camp, Rupinder was cleaning, babysitting her siblings, and watching hours on end of American television. But at age 30, Rupinder realized how much she regretted her lack of childhood adventure.
Stepping away from an orderly life of tradition, Rupinder decided to finally experience the things she missed out on. From learning to swim and taking dance lessons, to going to Disney World, her growing to-do list soon became the ultimate trip down non-memory lane. What began as a desire to experience all that had been denied to her became a discovery of what it means to be happy, and the important lessons that are learned when we are at play. For fans of Mindy Kaling, this is a warm, funny memoir of the daughter of Indian immigrants learning to break free and find her own path.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I am kind of obsessed with memoirs possibly because I find other people fascinating. I am neither Canadian nor Indian so this was very interesting.
