Hello!
With great excitement, I am happy to share with you my first book “People’s Kafe – Stories of Human Emotions, Endeavors & Inclusion”. My book is available exclusively on Amazon Kindle at People’s Kafe: Stories of Human Emotions, Endeavors & Inclusion
You can try a free sample by reading the first two chapters completely free on your Kindle device! Very soon, I shall be launching a paperback version of the book as well.
Here’s a little bit about my book:
People’s Kafe – Stories of Human Emotions, Endeavors & Inclusion is my humble attempt to present to you my bank of experiences with people collected over years from workplace, society and home. I have been an avid student of human psychology, partly by qualification but mostly by observation. The art of storytelling has been my proud inheritance. Growing up, I had the innocuous luxury of listening to anecdotes of people from my grandparents during my impressionable days of adolescence. In more recent years, my father has become my sounding board. His compelling insights into human behavior, accumulated through years of bureaucratic experience still intrigue me. I realized early on, that every opportunity to mingle with people is a fascinating journey into their prism of worldview, that has shaped them to be the persons they are.
These thirteen personal narratives of Human emotions will unfold to you my learning from conciliating with people, deciphering their motivations and witnessing latent biases in the societal structures. My inspiration came from various organizations I have had the privilege to work or interview with, simple hamlets from all walks of life, cities that I lived in, places I traveled to and so forth. As you sift through these real stories, you may find yourself questioning the accepted norms as I have attempted to unearth a “devil’s advocate” point of view.
The stories are simple and relatable. I have tried to explore a wide range of topics, from simplistic ones like human aspirations to more complex ones like an invasion of technology in modern life. My personal value of inclusion is another theme that runs as a continuum in three of the stories. With every story, my goal is to leave you with a thought-provoking nugget that may help us seek a better future for humankind. My conviction is that people who are start-up entrepreneurs, business leaders, homemakers, citizens of metropoles, corporate professionals and students will find these stories appealing. My hope is, that through this book, we will tide past some of the barricades within our mental maps and expand our boundaries of inclusivity.
I’d like to leave readers with a concluding thought – Taj Mahal, revered as the ultimate architectural magnificence, has in its lyrical composition, raw materials sourced from the world over. Taj was built from the white marble from Makrana, the Jasper sourced from Punjab, the Jade and crystal from China, the turquoise from Tibet and the Lapis lazuli from Afghanistan, while the sapphire came from Sri Lanka and the carnelian from Arabia. All of these stones amalgamated to result in an exotic piece of art and human emotions, that has stood the test of time. Likewise, when we tap into the potential of diverse sections of society, the sum total of their collective contributions can create magic!
I would love to hear your feedback. If you do like it, I shall be happy to get a review as well from you!
