Musings of a Misfit

"Stupidity is everywhere. Urban society follows closely behind. And when an unorthodox contrarian decides to help tell which is which, the never-ending rules of social acceptability await disaster."

Sunandan Misra tells it as he sees it, writing from the point of view of someone who started out doing what was expected of him by upper-middle-class Indian society before he took the plunge and forged his own unconventional path. He is able to look at what is considered "normal" through a different lens, observing the "imperfect idiosyncrasies of the seemingly perfect people" and describing his observations with the wit and wisdom of a modern-day Indian Mark Twain.

Often whimsical and always hilarious, Musings of a Misfit is a collection of essays and illustrative artwork that take conventional thinking and turn it on its ear. Topics range from the moral hazards of SMS lingo to the virtues of procrastination to the problem with wedding receptions.

If your sensibilities are easily offended, then this book is not for you. But if you need to take a break from taking yourself too seriously, then Misra will soon have you rolling on the floor laughing at the many absurdities of everyday life.
