Why did I write #ClosetotheBone? It’s an effort to reveal, unmask, enchant, terrify and connect. To reveal how important the inner journey is vis a vis the outer. To encourage knowing your shadow as well as your light as we are only whole with both sides. And finally to illustrate that when you stop chasing love to create a life you love, love will follow.

Thank you @veruschkashoes and my superwoman slash supermom slash superfriend slash superstylist @dipikablacklist for prepping me for the upcoming book tour for @closetothebone.book @harpercollinsin
In process for a shoot. Straddling multiple worlds is the privilege of the outsider, the interloper, the multiracial and the writer.
The heat got to us so we took some deliciously extremes measures and made a pit-stop @bonoboutiqueicecream

This is how I keep my emotions stable and balanced. This is how I connect with inner guidance. This is how I started the Publication Day of my first book @closetothebone.book. This is how I learned to treat myself with compassion. This is how I workout my emotions. This is how I make room for yummy food in my life. This is how I learned to breathe from a deeper place. This is life.
Thanks @anujayoga for getting me and @jasondhk2 back on the mat.

.
From cancer to surrogacy, to getting her twins back home to India – @lisaraniray keeps it real and shares her thoughts on life and parenting with #KSP.
Her strong belief systems, her positivity and everything left us awestruck. I love it when she said, “Motherhood doesn’t define me” and wish all of us accepted this more often than we do actually!
Her spiritual belief, her confidence, her true-to-herself nature, her sense of humour and honesty – I loved everything about this interview.
Tune in at 4 pm today on our YouTube channel and believe me you will be inspired!
.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the book @closetothebone.book before the weekend. .

Who wants what and what is stopping him/her from getting it is a basic premise behind most screenplays. But I think of this very basic human motivation this morning after receiving photos of @closetothebone.book getting unpacked in a lifelong beloved bookstore @bahrisons_booksellers in Khan Market. Today I feel the opening strains of a new melody to dance with. I hope I can continue to play with words and that you, gentle readers will offer me the grace of your attention.

“Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers. They cannot now be given to you because you could not live them. It is a question of experiencing everything. At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiencing the answer, some distant day.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

Repost from @drastyshah using @RepostRegramApp – Thank you @lisaraniray and @harpercollinsin for the advance copy. Thank you @rohitingoa for introducing me to this global fearless soul.
Lisa, starting to read this book taught me that the world is not only what we have seen and believed. That this career is not the only one. That the neighbourhood gossip could not tear us apart. That destiny is not only hard and linear. In this book, you showed the billions ways the world saw your face, at times with bare skin.
My take home : what I have or don’t have is not the only having. The world has many faces and I have many paths.
People, this book is out tomorrow.
Get your copy.
Lisa Ray : Close to the Bone
Thank you @_mumbaimirror for a thoughtful interview about @closetothebone.book @satyajit.desai
Repost from @harpercollinsin using @RepostRegramApp – A no-holds barred account of her life in which Lisa talks about her struggle with food, and cancer, Bombay in the nineties, and her search for love and peace. #CloseToTheBone is Lisa Ray at her most vulnerable, and at her strongest.
The book is OUT NOW!
Have you ordered a copy yet?

Repost from @deepti_khaitan using @RepostRegramApp – Through first few pages of her life in “close to the bone”I am beginning to realise how beautifully @lisaraniray has put together her journey! I can only imagine what the later part of the book holds and I am totally excited for it 🙂 #closetothebone #truthandnothingbutthetruth
Bringing #ClosetotheBone close to the earth, interrogating our past desires and meeting that which is timeless and emotive. A beautiful image of @closetothebone.book shared by reader @deepthEYE

Repost from @theprojectcafegoa using @RepostRegramApp – The Project Cafe works with emerging artists as well established ones and after our show and talk by celebrated visual artist Dayanita Singh and here is an event we are most proud to bring to Goa this June.
The Shanghvi Salon is a “conversation series” hosted by writer Siddharth Dhanvant Shanghvi whose past guests have included actor Jaya Bachchan, Booker Prize winner Anne Enright and photographer Roger Ballen. Shanghvi will be in conversation with the hugely celebrated actor and “cancer graduate” Lisa Ray who will launch her book, Close to the Bone, which illuminates the processes she underwent to come through cancer and back to the energising forces of the written word.
Ray and Shanghvi’s talk will be followed by a music reprisal by the fabulous Groove Dakshina, who will perform music that responds to the theme of survival and of, well, pure, unrelenting joy. Please join the internationally lauded creative duo of Ray and Shanghvi for the launch of Close to the Bone presented by
The Project Cafe in association with The Shanghvi Salon and Harper Collins on June 1st, Saturday.
