Do you wish for a 36 hour-day and think that running after kids is good cardio? If yes, then ‘YOU’ could be ‘ME’! Hi! Meet ‘Me’ alias Kanta Bai (at least in my household!), a ‘work-from-home’ mother of two, who loves to laugh and live life, all in the midst of a chaotic household of growing teenagers, their friends, traumas and dramas. Throw in a frisky pet, an unpredictable husband, some coffee pals and a few relatives, and you have a kaleidoscopic view of a routine day in the life of a mom. Now, add in a couple of demanding clients, deadlines and conference calls, and whoooosh! you get a heady concoction with a home-bound professional mom, who steers through a series of chaotic, frenzied and funny anecdotes of life. Kanta Bai Pvt. Ltd. is quirky and rib-tickling yet somber and thought-provoking. It is a peep into the lives and hearts of these ‘super moms’, who roller-skate through life at full speed, enjoying the thrill as well as the panic of this joy ride.
This is not a regular storybook - rather, it is an odyssey of a woman through her middle age, a phase which is full of exploration, discovery, and changes. The narrative is in the form of a relationship - of the author with her middle age, often a banter which makes one chuckle at the transformation happening, as much within as on the outside. So much changes in life as the years advance - and this simple, fluid and easy recount takes you, the reader, on a journey of your experiences, wherein you might gain a new perspective or just relate to the shifts you are experiencing, yourself. It aims to take you through all the areas which have made you evolve as a person. The question at the end of each chapter is meant to make you reflect and share. It is your personal digest, in which you can write and then, gift it to your friends - for them to share their thoughts too- resulting in a treasury of thoughts, feelings, and experiences. All in all, this is a book to make you reflect and observe your advancing years - with a click of your heels and a toss of your head - applauding your makeover and thanking the years for making you the woman you are today!
