Of Kismet and Karma, a semiautobiographical, cross-cultural
goulash, is the realization of a dream the author had nurtured
since she was a young woman. It is the first book ever written by a
female Indian author about three colonial cousins-India, Ghana, and
the United Kingdom. This cross-cultural voyage of self-discovery,
the reflection of a color-blind mind, spans over three decades
spent among diverse cultures. The two Indian words in the title of
the book are found in every English dictionary-kismet means
destiny, and karma refers to the duties we are born to perform in
this world. Of Kismet and Karma is the tale of a lifetime spent
amid peoples of three worlds-the black, the brown, and the white.
Through this semiautobiographical account, Pam tries to give her
readers interesting glimpses and explanations of diverse cultural
beliefs and colorful customs. It focuses on the diversity of our
world. The Ghanaian word sankofa (meaning the past can become a
learning experience) so impresses her that through nostalgic
anecdotes collected from a multicultural world, she celebrates
their past glory and wisdom. Though names of people and places have
been changed, this book is about real people and real places. In
the pages of this book, the author expresses the view that though
oceans apart and in spite of the color of their skins, all peoples
of the world share a common destiny.
