Special Guest and Best Selling Author, Shohban Bantwal - Shohban was born and raised in a large, conservative Hindu family in a small town called Belgaum in Southwestern India. Shohban was the black sheep of the family, the only tomboy and hellion in a family of five girls. Her four sisters were angels—good little Brahmin girls with the perfect mix of academic achievement, modesty and deportment. Needless to say, Shohban single-handedly gave her parents every gray hair they possessed, but they were wonderful parents and to a large degree Shohban owe everything today to them. The most valuable things they gave her was an outstanding education and the love of reading.
