A Heart Made From Borrowed Light is a collection of moments gathered from two years inside a Teach For India classroom: small shifts, sharp realisations, and quiet revolutions born in everyday life. Woven through these memories are the author’s encounters with India’s education landscape, the inequities that shape futures, the possibilities that emerge from hope, and the slow, deliberate work of pushing systems toward change. The book charts a personal transformation shaped by purpose, resilience, and the unexpected ways a commitment to equity reshapes one’s understanding of the world.
