A luminous memoir of love, faith, and rebellion. When her father prayed, he sang; she heard rhythm, not rules.

After a life-threatening crash, her reflections with technology form a dialogue between tradition and tomorrow. He Prayed and I Danced is a memoir of kismet, inheritance, and renewal.

    Chapter Eight: From Ed Sheeran and the Universe, To: Tara

    A daughter, a song, and a sign from the universe. In this chapter, Tirath finds her writer’s voice again through Ed Sheeran’s “Sapphire” — a gift that seems to arrive straight from her late father and the cosmos. Between court battles, family memories, and the ache of anniversaries, she rediscovers faith in music, justice, and love. From the rooftop rhythms of Punjab to the lyrics of a red-haired Brit singing in Punjabi, she learns that when women hold the line — for land, family, or truth — the universe sometimes answers back in song.

    When missiles from Pakistan light the night sky, Tirath takes her family to the mountains to breathe again. Between war, work, and the rise of machines replacing human hands, she asks what still gives life meaning. From her printing press to organic farms to stories told beside the river, she finds one answer: care is the last human work that cannot be replaced.

    Chapter Five: Filling The Cracks

    After her father’s passing, Tirath carries both duty and devotion — arranging the cremation, leading prayers, and holding the family steady. Yet beneath the rituals, she begins a quiet dance with grief. From gold-filled cracks in pottery to hymns at dawn, she learns that strength isn’t the absence of sorrow but the art of shaping it into love, faith, and motion.

    Chapter Four: Kismet

    When Tirath’s father falls ill, science and spirit meet in a single room — a ruby stone, a doctor’s pills, and a daughter’s prayers all working side by side. Between hospital visits, lucid dreams, and old Punjabi beliefs about fate, she begins to question what can be changed and what must simply be accepted. This chapter holds that quiet battle — between kismet and choice, surrender and love.

    Chapter Three: The Aftermath

    After a crash, Tirath and Mark learn to live again — not through comfort, but through endurance.

This chapter is about survival stripped bare — love, strength, and gratitude rebuilt from the wreckage.

    Chapter Two: Silence

    Tirath pours her heart into honouring her grandfather’s legacy — learning to read Punjabi, recording sacred scripture, and repairing the Gurdwara where her family once prayed. But when greed and betrayal close in, her devotion is met with violence. Silence is about faith that holds steady through fear — and the quiet strength that remains after the crash.

    Chapter One: Anger Be Gone

    From courtrooms to canyons, Tirath traces her lifelong study of anger — learning from Native elders, family laughter, and her own children that peace is a practice, not a mood. Anger Be Gone begins the journey with stories of survival, sarcasm, and self-mastery — where a grandmother, a lawyer, and a storyteller become one voice teaching how to turn fire into wisdom.
