When one goes into life, with the wandering alleys of the times, one tends to forget the raison detre of the birth-death cycle – to live.

And that is what goes missing … mostly.

In the daily humdrum of the days of our lives, we tend to miss out on living.

And what goes mostly missing is to consciously experience our days and our nights.

The two critical aspects that goes mostly missing in experiencing our lives fully as we become more and more mature are slowness and silliness.

There is not much literature on these two vital aspects of our lives that is mostly looked down upon in a world dominated by speed and seriousness, or the act of it. Yes, being dead serious or acting is the only acceptable solution if you want to be taken seriously by your family, friends and peers. Along the way your professional life has been mixed with your personal life …earlier they were two peas in a pod and now it is in a plasma state, hard to distinguish. The concept of work from home has eliminated the blurred line between professional and personal space. It was blurred, yes, because the work-life balance was unbalanced to begin with.

The natural outcome was the change in demeanour at home … seriousness finds entry into a space that is meant to be silly, and the fast pace enters a life that is meant to be slow. Slowness and silliness thus have no room left in your office-home space.

Need of the hour!

This book, in two parts, explores these two vital elements that are on the verge of extinction in our lives … that are mostly missing!
