'Paisley is a Pupstar' by Michele Akerlind

This book is an autobiography written by Kamal Krishna Laha, who was born in India in 1942, during WI (1939-1945). He survived from typhoid thrice and was unable to walk for years. The family (mother, father, grandma, one widow, three unmarried aunties, and two uncles) was poor. His father, who was a goldsmith, was the only earning member. The dwelling has two rooms, a hall, a thatched kitchen, a cowshed, and a privy. The hindrance was poverty. His mother's bravery helped him to succeed.

Three million people died during the Bengal famine in 1943 to 1944. Ten thousand, the majority of which are Hindus, were killed at the Calcutta Riots (1946). India got independence from the British on August 15, 1947. The general economic condition deteriorated. His father's loan increased due to the arrangement of dowry for his aunties' marriages and raising two uncles.

He was educated at Chatra Free Upper Primary School (first division), run by Srirampur Municipality, Chatra Nandalal Institution, as a poor and meritorious half scholar for higher secondary (science) 1960 (Class XI). Poverty prevented him from attending university. He received a scholarship from Ramakrishna Mission Shilpamandira, Belur Math, for a diploma in electrical engineering in 1963 (first division). He completed his degree in electrical engineering (AMIE) from the Institution of Engineers (India) and was elected to LifeFIE(I) and FIEAust.

He has worked in eight countries and has migrated to Australia and living with his wife; twin sons, who are also engineers; daughters-in-law, who are an engineer and a chartered accountant; and three grandsons.

Michele lives and works in Brisbane, Australia, with her husband, Tommy. Together they have seven children. Michele has written a children's series based on her deceased rescue puppy and a separate story about a magical tree. Michele is a Creative Writing Therapist. She has a degree in Counselling, is a Reiki Practitioner and has worked for the Salvation Army as a Telephone Counsellor. She has also achieved the Excellence in Leadership Award during her working life. Michele has recently been to Cambodia on a mission trip. She aims to give 10 percent of the proceeds of all her books to a church-based charity that helps keep children safe from prostitution and trafficking.
