From harmless excuses like \u201cI\u2019m five minutes away\u201d to classic workplace\u00a0jhooth\u00a0like \u201cI\u2019ve read the report,\u201d the book explores how we navigate society with small, strategic untruths \u2014 often without even realizing it.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cThis book is not a manual for deception \u2014 it\u2019s an honest, funny look at the lies we tell to survive office deadlines, social pressure, and dinner with relatives. It\u2019s a celebration of being human \u2014 flawed, funny, and occasionally full of it,\u201d\u00a0says author Sanjay Shukla.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The idea for the book took shape over countless chai breaks and storytelling sessions at old Irani caf\u00e9s of Hyderabad \u2014 places known more for\u00a0\u2018phenkna\u2019\u00a0(exaggeration) than fact. Drawing inspiration from everyday Indian settings, the book examines why we lie, how we lie, and what these fibs reveal about us.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">A seasoned writer with a background in journalism, corporate storytelling, and satire, Sanjay blends sharp observation with desi humour, resulting in a read that is insightful, nostalgic, and laugh-out-loud funny.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Published by Notion Press, the book is available in paperback (\u20b9199), hardbound (\u20b9299), and eBook formats.
