Book Title : What The Pandemic Learned From Me
There’s a journey that all of us have undertaken in these testing times. A journey of self-realization and renewed assessment of our lives, marked by silly anecdotes and everyday truths. This book is a humorous mix of the author’s personal blunders and mind-boggling human behavior in general, strung together by a series of hilarious open letters.
It’s also an attempt to reaffirm the need for a good laugh to help deal with the doom and gloom that now surrounds our lives. Each letter picks up a relatable theme of our lockdown life – be it our obsession with baking banana bread or finding the fanciest holiday homes in Goa. What comes out, is a light and delightful offering that anyone living in this era shouldn’t miss.
“A breezy read that goes well with your evening tea (like Marie Gold) or finds a permanent spot on your nightstand. A perfect picker-upper if you’re feeling down, it reminded me of Bill Bryson’s ‘A Short History of Nearly Everything’ and Hugh Prather’s ‘Notes to Myself’.” – Manish Bhatt, Founder/CCO August Communications
“Hits a cord with everyone who has left the rat race of ‘acquiring new skills’. It is honest, straightforward, and downright hilarious. I found it clutter-breaking, relatable and non-preachy.” – Shilpi Agarwal, Blogger @bookgasmic
