About the author
Anita Moorjani is the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller, Dying to be Me. After she was diagnosed with stage 2A Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2002, and rejected conventional treatment, Moorjani was taken to a hospital in 2006 where she lay in a coma for 30 hours, during which Moorjani claims to have undergone a near-death experience. == Biography == === Early life and education === Moorjani was born to Sindhi Indian parents Hargobind (father) and Neelu (mother) Shamdasani in Singapore. Shortly after her birth, her family moved to Sri Lanka, and when she was two years old, the family moved to Hong Kong, where she and her older brother Anoop grew up. Moorjani and her brother both studied in British schools. As an ethnic minority in a majority British school, Moorjani says she was often the victim of bullying. Moorjani's parents are Indian, and because of her diverse cultural background, she grew up multilingual, speaking Sindhi, Cantonese, and English simultaneously. Moorjani always felt that she was not able to conform with her parents' wishes, who were traditional Indians and had arranged a marriage for her.
