These sometimes leads to lack of authenticity and mental health issues. This gave birth to the book. In order to accomplish its intent of self-discovery.
Deepa Agarwal says, ‘The book is my humble attempt to bring forth the idea of inner life and the criticality of taking self-action. It’s an invitation for the readers to honest look at oneself, before being assailed by the hangover of their own choices.’
