A book that exudes the indomitable human spirit and the courage to survive against all odds.
Neelam Kumar's I am Invincible - Thirteen True Tales of Courage, Grit & Survival exudes the indomitable human spirit and the courage to survive against all odds. Every story is a realisation, that we the charioteers of struggle are also our own strength. And what brilliant narration! Like traveling through the labyrinth of each mind towards the light at the end of the tunnel. The book begins with the authors own story where she bares her soul out and connects to the readers vulnerabilities. These survival stories (Well, I prefer calling them heroic) will not just inspire you, but will also bring you to a realisation that nothing is bigger than ones resilience and courage. In the chaos of the current times, this book gives hope.It amazes me how strong the human spirit is!Totally recommend 'I am invincible'. Neelam Kumar does complete justice to these bravehearts. Here's to life, and the resolute, unswerving grit to live it despite all odds.- Chandrama Deshmukh

A book to read if you are feeling defeated by adversities
When Neelam approached me to share my story with her for her book, I did. I have never shied from sharing my cancer experience or life experience in open with everyone. Never did I imagine she would make me a part of 13 amazing warrior stories, which she herself is with two victories over cancer. When I completed reading all of the stories, I felt I so humbled. I am usually a person who feels 'I am the best' and for me to humbled is not easy. Thank you Neelam for this Honor. This was much bigger than what I expected it to be..When we read about heroes, we feel they are different from us and normal people cannot do what they did. But when you bring 13 (extra)ordinary peope together in a book with their different challenges and fights, there is no option but to agree that we all have that x factor which makes us extraordinary people.

Going through trouble? Read this and be inspired!
I have been a fan of Neelam Kumar's writing for several years. She has this way of connecting to her readers that is just so inspiring and utterly relatable! Her personal story is inspiring in the first place, but in this collection, she brings together the stories of many other people who have endured extreme struggle and come out on top, again and again! She reminds us that we have the power to choose how we will respond to the challenges that inevitably come to all of us - and that it's our choice to allow those trials to grind us down or propel us to new heights. This book inspires us all to choose the latter! Go forth and conquer!
