When the rage over Gurmehar Kaur's video excerpt was storming over social media after the Ramjas college violence in February, the 20-year-old decided to take the higher road. 

"I thought I must let these people do all the talking. People were putting words in my mouth, and the entire narrative had been twisted. I decided to be quiet and tell my story at my time, at my own pace," she said.

This is when the Kaur decided to give her life a voice, shaped by the currents of the present, seen through the eyes of a woman shoved into public scrutiny at a transient time.

Kaur is writing a book, "Moments of Freedom," which is expected to hit the stores in January 2018.
