Book Description
My manager to me, "Your job is to interview 60 size zero south Bombay women over the next few days. Take them out for dinner if you think they are not opening up adequately during your interviews." "Yours Sarcastically" is a 'not-so-diplomatic' take on the life of a 20-something person in contemporary India. It is his saucy journey from post graduate education to his experiences in selling mustard hair oil, his marketing stints and his rich experience during his international management consulting experience along the Indo-Nepal border. Some of his professional experiences include: interviewing 60 size zero south Bombay women, negotiating with the right hand man of an underworld don, managing drunken brand managers at corporate off-sites, the extensive preparation done by sales people for 'surprise' visits by their bosses, and the hiring of cheerleaders by a premier consulting firm to turn around their client's fortunes. In his free time, he likes to write movie scripts for C grade movies, transform behenjis to blockbuster babes, visit top brothels in Mumbai and indulge in politics and backbiting. Along the way, he falls in love with his batch-mate and hankers after professional success. Needless to say, there is a villain who runs after the same lovely girl and the same crown of success. As the stakes keep getting higher, will this rollercoaster ride meet a dead end or will everything fall in place like any other happily ever after? "We love the way we have been portrayed in the book." - Sonali Singh, President, Association of Size Zero South Bombay Women

The Madman's Guide to Sarcastic Definitions

Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
How do you combat boredom? Write your own dictionary! And yes, it is as easy as it sounds, provided that you are a total smart ass or at least ten cents short of your personal dollar. Fortunately, the author just happens to be one, or the other, or both! Well, at least he has his moments. Really though, the creation of this book is more along the lines of a challenge. Having been told that he was so sarcastic that he could write a book about it, he decided to actually do it, and this book is the result. This book has been done in dictionary form for ease of subject, since sarcasm is not something that can necessarily be taught. It is more of a skill one develops for themselves. However, having a reference with a wisecrack for a multitude of different subjects at your disposal doesn't hurt, and therefore this book should be a good jumping off point for developing the skill. Always choose subjects that are not likely to get you into trouble, and keep in mind that you should use your best judgment all the same. Remember, this book has been written all in good fun.

Justice Prevailed at Last…
Author: Prashna Narayana Rai
Publisher: Exceller Books
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
This novel is the English translation of the Kannada novel "Katheyadhale Kavayithree," originally published in March 2022 by author Prashna Narayana Rai. From the lofty perch of Themis, blindfolded and wielding the scales of justice, the triumph of equity is an axiom. Yet, as Sudhathri, raised on such idealistic tales, discovered during her baptism by fire in the courtroom, the scales often tip precariously. Justice isn't guaranteed to outweigh transgression; rather, brute force frequently prevails. This disillusionment sparked a fire within her: a determination to bolster the weight of justice. Enter Mugil, a childhood friend wasting away in the clutches of addiction under the thrall of Quarter Kariyappa, the gang leader. Ayesha, another childhood friend, exhausts herself in vain attempts to pull him back from the precipice. Desperate, she turns to Sudhathri, a college junior whose fictional narratives have captivated audiences. Sudhathri, wielding the power of pen and prose, crafts a poignant love story mirroring Mugil's life. The lines between fiction and reality blur, and Sudhathri finds herself enmeshed in the narrative she weaves. Set against the backdrop of a modern world, "Justice Prevailed at Last" interweaves the celestial love story of Earth and Sky with the intricate tapestry of Sudhathri, Mugil, and a cast of compelling characters. It delves deeper, questioning the impact of humanity's relentless reshaping of the world. Does nature, the primeval force of creation, countenance this disruption? Does humankind, in its hubristic efforts to mold the five elements to its will, recognize the potential consequences? This novel is a poignant exploration of justice, love, and the delicate balance between human intervention and the natural world.

Talk Is Cheap : Sarcasm, Alienation, and the Evolution of Language
Author: Minnesota John Haiman Professor of Linguistics Macalester College
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195354060
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Putting aside questions of truth and falsehood, the old "talk is cheap" maxim carries as much weight as ever. Indeed, perhaps more. For one need not be an expert in irony or sarcasm to realize that people don't necessarily mean what they say. Phrases such as "Yeah, right" and "I couldn't care less" are so much a part of the way we speak--and the way we live--that we are more likely to notice when they are absent (for example, Forrest Gump). From our everyday dialogues and conversations ("Thanks a lot!") to the screenplays of our popular films (Pulp Fiction and Fargo), what is said is frequently very different from what is meant. Talk is Cheap begins with this telling observation and proceeds to argue that such "unplain speaking" is fundamentally embedded in the way we now talk. Author John Haiman traces this sea-change in our use of language to the emergence of a postmodern "divided self" who is hyper-conscious that what he or she is saying has been said before; "cheap talk" thus allows us to distance ourselves from a social role with which we are uncomfortable. Haiman goes on to examine the full range of these pervasive distancing mechanisms, from cliches and quotation marks to camp and parody. Also, and importantly, this text highlights several new ways in which the English language is evolving (and has evolved) in response to our postmodern world view. In other words, this study shows us how what we are saying is gradually separating itself from how we say it. As provocative as it is timely, the book will be fascinating reading for students of linguistics, literature, communication, anthropology, philosophy, and popular culture.
