Publisher's Synopsis
About the Book
Qualia means a subjective conscious experience. In other words, what it means to "be" with all the sensory perceptions. It is the inner cosmos. This book Qualia is a creative non-fiction story-one of love, loss, and complexities of finding self. It's about growing up in the bustling streets of the Eastern World, navigating the deep bonds the author shares with her siblings, immigrating to the West, and wrestling with the unspoken struggles of mind and body. This is the story of a person whose inner fight is bigger than any outside struggle and yet is a source of fulfillment. Through moments of joy, pain, and everything in between, the author reflects on what it means to live fully, even when the path is anything but simple. This is a journey of connection-between family, memory, and the fragile beauty of life itself. If you've ever questioned your place in the world or searched for meaning in chaos, you are invited to walk this path with the author.
