Publisher's Synopsis
What's the secret to saving your sanity during this pesky pandemic? Can there even be one? There's a journey that each one of us have undertaken in these testing times. A journey of self-realization and renewed assessment of our lives, marked by silly anecdotes, mindless distractions, and everyday truths. This book is a humorous retelling of the author's personal blunders and mind-boggling human behavior in general, strung together by a series of hilarious open letters. It is a modest pursuit to deliver a little relief, and diversion from the pandemic's grim realities. 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, growing out our beards, 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 loved the book. I found it clutter-breaking, relatable and non-preachy." - Shilpi Agarwal, Blogger @bookgasmic Some important information: o The book is part memoir, part random lists and part mean musings. o It celebrates the ability to find humor in unexpected predicaments and life in general. o It's a collection of letters addressed to the most unlikely of receivers, filled with pithy observations, irreverent and ruthless humor about the little idiosyncrasies of life in lockdown. o Each of these perfectly bite sized letters are wonderful accompaniments to the massive mood swings that is our reality in the times of corona. o Under no circumstance, this book is to be taken seriously, seriously. Savor this quick pick-me-up with a hot cup, a pinch of salt and a great deal of grins.
