But Relocate, Adjust, Repeat is different.
It is an autobiography like you've never read before. It is profound, irreverent, wickedly funny and highly entertaining.
Having endured the worst of British education, Mahesh joins a group of marijuana crazed European hippies traveling overland to India, where some of his ancestry has its home. I don’t want to give away too much. But when you can chuckle about assertions that “Flying is easy. Just ignore gravity”, then this book is for you. More twists and turns follow, until Mahesh ends up in UNICEF.
As he continues to journey between cultures and continents, Mahesh encounters numerous luminaries, including Jim Grant and heads of state. Refreshingly free of the pomp that often accompanies the portrayal of such events - and the typical life stories of international officials - Mahesh does not bask in the glory of the moment but wonders what the hell is going on.
As we share in his experiences and impressions, we learn about an obscure part of ourselves that will recognize itself. A book that inspires us to look back on our own lives without pretence and deception.
Relocate, Adjust, Repeat is available on Amazon (click here) and makes a perfect Season's Present to a friend, spouse, parent or offspring. Gift-wrapping might be available.
sounds like fun - we need to reflect on this - all sounds glorious but verges on the ridiculousness edge and the fast approaching trend of UN becoming almost completely irrelevant.
ReplyDeleteDesisting from ridiculing the UN will not stop it from becoming irrelevant. The only thing that could reverse that would be a few world powers wanting the UN to become relevant. Don't hold your breath.
DeleteWould the US give up the power of the veto that protects Israel? Would Russia give up that same power to protect the likes of Assad? Would the Chinese leave the South China Sea because a UN body tells them to? The sun did set on the British empire a long time ago and the relevance of France is declining at a more rapid pace than that of the UN.
DeleteA rollicking good read from one of our very best writers. Highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely grateful to Mahesh for the gift of his book. It is enjoyable, heartfelt...and awe-inspiring. Thank you, dear colleague and friend.
