1 Chapter 1: The Outcast

Ali was a 12-year-old boy who was born and raised in a Muslim Indian American family. He was proud of his heritage and his faith, but he felt like an outcast in his community. His schoolmates often bullied him because of his skin color and his religion. He often felt angry, resentful, and in pain.

One day, Ali was scrolling through his phone when he stumbled upon a meditation app. He had heard about the benefits of meditation before, but he had never tried it. He decided to download the app and give it a try.

At first, Ali found it difficult to focus and quiet his mind. He was distracted by the negative thoughts and emotions that had been weighing him down. But as he continued to practice, he found a sense of calm and clarity that he had never experienced before.
