This book is all about easy answers for the questions which seems complex. This is a handbook to seek complacency and stay in the race of different challenges at various stages of life.

Sparkles of the book:
The book is a collection of 15 different chapters on various fronts like parenting, workplace, technology and social gatherings expressed in a satirical way providing tips and tricks to mend them in a right way. The chapter titles too are very much creative and hilarious and some of my favourite are 'How to be a kangaroo Dad' , ' How to be a gainfully occupied freeloader'.

For example the author has explained how our resume can work more than our efficiency. She has also shared the language to be used to build a great resume. This could be of great help make a resume standout. The concept of tiger moms is very enjoyable and laugh buster.

Handling the social media pressure and the various WhatsApp groups is explained superbly in a light hearted way.

The sketches at the beginning of each chapter portrays the things that will be discussed.

The book is very much relatable to our day to day life in our personal and professional front. The fresh flavours of wit teaches to be extraordinary and likeable while being very much ordinary.

Final Stroke:
The author is a keen observer to clinch the exact nerve and present it very skilfully in an sarticial way which just hits the right chord in life.

The book is surely a very unique take as a concept and the way the writer has explained the fine line between a bigot and being likeable among the fellow colleagues and friends.

One would not hold back the laughter as the author has completely assisted the thoughts in a ironical manner. Very rich vocabulary used did made me look through the dictionary and helped me learn a lot of words.

Liked the writing style and it is very difficult to put sarcasm in writing but the author has done a brilliant job here.

Each chapter is completely independent of the other so could be read in any order. I suggest to read it twice to get the complete feel.

This book is a definite handbook for all those who are self-contained, change resistant yet want to rule the world.

A must read for all who like no other medicine other than laughter.
