Inscrutable Americans

Monday,26 may 2.56 pm
I don't remember which year it was,but as it happens every year,nanimaa gave money for baisakhi [i always remind her that,no one nowadays celebrates baisakhi mela but she likes to stick to her traditions]So what did i do with money which nani had given for eating junk food and sweets :D ?
I bought the inscrutable Americans by Anurag Mathur :-)
So i write about the most hilarious book i have ever read [I start laughing hearing its name hehe]

Genre - fiction,comedy

Age factor - 17 and above

The book
A small town boy has to spend a year in America.His english is twisted and bit different and funny from the actual english.So the story is great,its hilarious.The boy wonders,why a guy is named randy in America?
Arent randy's supposed to be women as happens in India? something like that.So,the whole of his year in America is put forward to you.
Another point worth noting is the depth of emotions that the author has covered in a disguise of a hilarious story.
A great book,i heard a film is to be made out of it.I am going to watch it for sure.
Read it,if you haven't read it.Learn while you laugh your heart out.

Gifting ideas
95 rupees is the print rate.Rupa@co. is the publisher,a wonderful book to gift your friend or a cousin.My observation says boys like this book more then girls do.Since its a bestseller, you can find it very easily.Most of the bookstore owners know all about it.

A thought worth sharing
" The smallest bookstore still contains more ideas of worth than have been presented in the entire history of television." ~Andrew Ross

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
