Lisa Ray Instagram – At the end of this year rimmed with sadness, I find myself practising radical gratitude so hard. The fact I managed to write a book, release it and the generosity of readers in reading and sharing still – almost two years later- makes my heart judder. #closetothebone is just the beginning of my writing path, as I reach inside myself and for the page at the same time. May I never be nonchalant about the things that matter. May you do the same ❤️🙏🏼 Repost from littlesprinklesofmylife using @RepostRegramApp – • CLOSE TO THE BONE • . . This is the story of Lisa Ray, one of India’s first supermodels. An unflinching, deeply moving account of her nomadic existence: her entry into the Indian entertainment industry at sixteen; her relationship with her Bengali father and Polish mother; life on the movie sets and her brush with the Oscars; her battle with eating disorders; being diagnosed with multiple myeloma at thirty-seven; her spiritual quest; lovers and traitors, mentors and dream-makers; and the heartaches and triumphs along the way. (Goodreads described it perfectly) . . Not gonna lie, I picked it up partly because I was looking for a cancer survivor story, but this one had only a few chapters towards the end dedicated to it. Nevertheless, the book has so much more to offer, that it made the entire experience even better. . . #QoTD : Do you like eating/drinking while reading?
