An offbeat collection, written with tongue firmly in cheek, that often mirrors your own experiences?Meet Shridhar, a wry, irreverent and self-deprecating former ad man. Discover his world ofquirky colleagues and his typically Indian middle-class life through amusing and sometimeshysterical slice-of-life situations.When not crafting ads or daydreaming, Shridhar observed people keenly. As his life tangledwith theirs in an un-choreographed dance, he made exhaustive mental notes that stuck likesuperglue. He wove it all together on Facebook with fingers dipped in vivid imagery, deadpan humour, sarcasm, nostalgia, and warmth. But always with a sharp eye for the bizarre. Call it ob-com, or observational comedy.Grab your rocks glass, goblet, or steel tumbler, and savour this compendiumone post at a time. If you occasionally laugh out loud, it's okay. It's an intendedside effect.
