Summary
In the spirit of Mindy Kaling's best-seller Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, a collection of humorous, autobiographical essays from Kunal Nayyar, best known as Raj on CBS' number-one hit comedy The Big Bang Theory.
Of all the charming misfits on television, there's no doubt Raj from The Big Bang Theory - the sincere yet incurably geeky Indian American astrophysicist - ranks among the misfittingest. Now we meet the actor who is every bit as loveable as the character he plays on TV. In this revealing collection of essays written in his irreverent, hilarious, and self-deprecating voice, Kunal Nayyar traces his journey from a little boy in New Delhi who mistakes an awkward first kiss for a sacred commitment, gets nosebleeds chugging Coca-Cola to impress other students, and excels in the sport of badminton to the confident, successful actor on the set of TV's most-watched sitcom since Friends.
Full of heart, but never taking itself too seriously, this witty and often inspiring collection of underdog tales follows a young man as he traverses two continents in search of a dream, along the way transcending culture and language (and many, many embarrassing incidents) to somehow miraculously land the role of a lifetime.

Just beautiful!
If you love Raj from 'BBT' and love Indian culture too, this is just for you! Read by the author it's a poignant and funny tale of an everyday guy who discovered he wanted to become an actor, whilst studying abroad. His soft and sensitive side, like Raj's, is evident, especially when he so beautifully describes his wedding in the final chapter. I loved this book, and I also loved the role that his family, especially his parents, played in shaping his life.

Authentic
After listening this audiobook from Kunal, I am going to share how I felt about it: it's authentic. Kunal doesn't attempt to 'wow' you by manipulating events or make himself look like the super cool guy. In fact, he is super humble (if anything) and just tries to share his story. It a warm story that will keep you company and, if anything, is making you appreciate who Kunal is. Nothing more, nothing else. Thank you for this Kunal, Raj would be really proud of this book!
