Purrfectly Ridiculous Tales by Karina Pandya

 How I came across this book?  I invited a friend over home for Holi, and she turned out to be the author of this wonderful book. 

She surprised me with a copy of her book and I was speechless. How cool is that!! 

Cats are in vogue and her book is primarily about having them as pets. 

They are smart, can defeat people with their adroit skills hidden behind their meow!! 

The author is clearly in love with cats and loves giving them the podium, to uplift her own spirits and feel the feelings of a parent. Her words flood the book with what a mother could do for her child and gives the reader that feeling - how the art of parenting can bring meaning and pleasures into ones life - where you realize the moments are valuable above all. 

The era we live in, embraces loneliness as a trend spreading all over. With live-in relationships, situationship and so on -- the author gives a reader an insight about an alternate way of leading a life - without children. By treating your pets as if you don't need any other in their life. This is an unspoken message. 

Other than that, I found this book to be a pseudo biography. There is nothing more intriguing and gripping for a reader except a pseudo biography. With everyone wanting their life story getting out there, this genre is shelved and lies unexplored. I think the writer has been smart enough to add this genre in her list of publications. 





With that said, I wish the author - all the best!! 

May you touch the skies with your work and receive the praise and love.
