Ravi's Guide to Being a Cool Indian

Riani Saunhil

4.9/5 (34096 ratings)

Description:(Former) rock star and (failed) television host Ravi Anjani has smooth-talked his loan shark into one last extension. Unfortunately, he’s down to one last source of funds: his family – irate about his recently published “Guide to Being a Cool Indian” that mocked their querulous mindsets as immigrants in the West.Sister Vineeta is furious her parents have advertised her “bio-data” to find an Indian husband; dejected her secret crush is getting married; and conflicted now that her dull non-Indian boyfriend wants her traditional parents to know he exists.Cousin Pankaj has been passed over for a promotion and finds even his Porsche can’t help him get a date.Can the trinity help each other with their predicaments while coming to terms with assimilation’s role in shaping their lives?Ravi's Guide is set in London and Manhattan and features musical moments, unexpected romances, car chases, card-cheating schemes, awkward wedding speeches and excerpts from the Guide.According to these Completely Fictional Testimonials, it is a literary masterpiece:"Hilarious, insightful and moving, but who are we kidding? Nobody reads anymore. So turn on Netflix and watch my show, which will make you feel about the same as reading this book with a lot less effort."A. Ansari"This book is funny. If I wasn't so successful being funnier, I would adapt it into a t.v. series."M. Kaling"The comic observations, dialogue and family tensions crackle. While most modern literature looks at assimilation through the lens of oppression, Ravi's Guide uses the lens of psychological consequences--the self-awareness of otherness, the self-loathing and the competitive drive to be more American than an American to prove one fits in. At least that's what the author asked me to write."O. Winfrey"With over 100,000 words, the odds are high there is something offensive in this book. By using a pseudonym, the author has done what all smart Indians and Americans do--blame someone else."Riani Saunhil"It's a cross between serious fiction and light t.v., like Interior Chinatown crossed with The Good Place. Or maybe it's a cross between light fiction and a serious movie, like Crazy Rich Asians crossed with The Namesake. Except that the former was turned into a movie, and the latter was first a book. Ah, whatever, it's entertaining, read it before it gets turned into a movie so you can say how the book was better."M. KakutaniWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
