My Little Epiphanies.
•
The trailer of the movie The Sky Is Pink has been making rounds on social media but what I didn't know was that it's based on a true story. The movie is inspired from the life of Aisha Chaudhary, a girl who was diagnosed with SCID (Severe combined immunodeficiency) and lived her entire life hooked to oxygen tanks. But that's not what makes Aisha different from others. Her courage, determination and kindness sets her apart. This tiny book encloses Aisha's deepest thoughts, be it fear, love, helplessness or pain. It may be small but it sure packs a punch.

The book begins with a foreword written by @priyankachopra. Then her mother whom she fondly used to call Moose, goes ahead to write a little about Aisha's touching journey. She talks about Aisha's quirks and nature all the while addressing it to Aisha. She writes about how strong her daughter was in the face of intermittent death and how bravely she fought her fears. There's also a note by Shonali Bose, the director of the movie #theskyispink about how Aisha's family has now become hers through the pain and memories that they share. It's heartwarming to see the way in which these two women talk about Aisha's life. Not just the part where she's I'll but the glorious life that she lived in all of her eighteen years.

My Little Epiphanies is a collection of Aisha's life. Her deep personal thoughts are enclosed within these pages making the readers significantly emotional. Amidst these pages are doodles created by Aisha through which she displays her mind. It's creative and chirpy to look at. After reading this piece of work, I'm absolutely eager to watch the movie. Watching Aisha's role come to life on screen will be a beautiful thing to watch. @theskyispinkofficial will be released on 11th of this month and I'm glad to have had the chance to read the book before it's out :) Thank you for the copy @bloomsburyindia
