‘Aunties’ on Business

I have never ever in my entire life finished a book as quickly as I did one authored by a young entrepreneur named Varun Agarwal from Bangalore, India. The book titled “How I braved Anu aunty & co-founded a million dollar company” when flashed in an ad-corner while Flipkarting aroused a bit enthusiasm to add it to my bookshelf. The weirdest of all title, a fascinating caricature on cover page, out of the world font and a Facebook image made me gather more information about the author by Google-ing around. A video link on Youtube about a lecture delivered by Varun aided me to decide on immediately placing a Flipkart order. A couple of days later, as expected, the delivery boy ranged in my doorbell.

Thursday-Friday-Saturday-Sunday-Monday was enough to absolutely gulp all the lucid narrations in this book. Although it seems to be five full days, but in past it took me a minimum of a fortnight’s time to read a book of that length. This book has magic which has been skilfully sprinkled throughout and that enticed me to swallow it at such a speed. The freshness of thought, the foreword, the disclaimer, the brand “Anu Aunty” and the business itself has been so artistically penned that one cannot resist the temptation to guzzle it at one go. The language though is frantic and may procure an “F” if used for day to day activities, one which can bring a cardiac arrest to the English tutor, yet the tender freshness & youthful manifesto will allure you for a different reading escapade.

Another book that falls in the same category and class would be “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki as it too has the learnings from real business life. That one is a classic (the sales figure second it) while this book “How I dared Anu aunty...” is destined to be one. Rich dad is a VVS Laxman style elegant leg glance while this one is no lesser than a Tendulkar cover drive.

All I can say is that the book glitters as a blue diamond does, in my bookshelf and I take pride to be an owner of such a fantastic book of my time.
