Varuni Sinha joins us to discuss her newly released memoir, 'Golden Handcuffs:  An Immigrants Pursuit of Happiness'..  She shares her struggle to assimilate in the US as the spouse of an immigrant with an H1-B visa but very limited autonomy of her own.  Her journey to persevere through a dark time of depression and questioning her own self worth can inspire hope in anyone struggling to find purpose in life. 

Varuni Sinha is a New York City-based writer and multimedia producer. She has written for The Post and Courier, Time Out New York, and created 360-degree campaigns for global brands such as Yamaha and Panasonic. A former guest lecturer at the University of Delhi, she taught “Race and Politics Through Literature” and wrote a dissertation on the history of Indian comic superheroes, tracing their origin story to Hindu gods and their American cousins.
