Throughout Zarna's whole childhood in India, everyone called her ?so American? just for reading the newspaper, having deep thoughts, and talking back to anyone over the age of thirty. When Zarna's dad tried to marry her off at age fourteen, Zarna fled?first to the streets of Mumbai and ultimately to the glittering paradise of Akron, Ohio, where she got to become American for real. On Zarna's very American quest to find herself and her calling, she threw herself wholeheartedly into roles like dog-bite lawyer, crazy perfectionist stay-at-home mom, Indian matchmaker, prizewinning screenwriter, and more. It wasn't until a dare led her to a stand-up comedy open mic that Zarna finally found her spiritual home: getting paid cold hard cash for her big fat mouth.
