I have been so busy with writing my book, a documentary titled Peh-chaan (identity) and now working to get my book published. The documentary will be finished and shown in Michigan on April 25th. The music to the documentary can be listened to and purchased on itunes. Click on the link Lovable to listen and purchase.
The last few months have been a whirlwind. I have been so fortunate to have people in my life that are so generous and giving. The person who wrote this song and produced it did it without any payment. The singer and the musician also gave their time, heart and soul to help this project come together. I am so utterly amazed at the generosity of strangers and long ago friends in putting my dreams together.
I will update as we get closer to showing the documentary but for now you can listen to the song along with reading the words here. The lyrics blew me away, so poignant and right to the truth. Enjoy! Get out the Kleenex, everyone gets very emotional!

V1
There I stood
with a dress from a bag

that was left on the floor
placed down at my feet
my soul taken
from the ones that I loved
to a place far away
down a path of deceit
CH1
am I good
am I bad
it’s the truth
that I’ve never had
should I stay
where would I go
can you tell me
what I need to know
am I lovable
V2
eyes wide open
as I peaked from the bed
that was given to me
here inside my new home
just a child
from a mother who waits
from a mother who cries
now she cries all alone
CH2
you are good
never bad
it’s the truth
please don’t ever be sad
gone one day
where’d you go
I can tell you
what you need to know
you are lovable
V3
hearts are broken
but the pain floats away
and the love still remains
Is now what I see
I’ve been born
three times now it seems
to two different mothers
and finally to me
CH3
I am good
I’m not bad
it’s the truth
that I finally have
here I’ll stay
I won’t go
I believe
what I needed to know
I am lovable

A beautiful song, Pushpa! I am so happy that your story will help others who wonder if they are loveable, realize they are – as you have! Your little sister, Kripa

Hi Pushpa,
I have read your story with amazement and admiration. You’ve lived an amazing life and I think your attitude towards these unique circumstances is so positive and a real inspiration to others in similar situations. I am a documentary filmmaker based in Mumbai, India and I am working on a film on children, like you, who have been stolen and sent abroad for adoption. I see that you’ve been working on a documentary yourself – which I would love to see. I would also like to share with you my idea for a film. Please do share your email address and I can tell you more about myself and my film.
Warmest regards
Preeti
