Overview

""Ever wondered why we carry a tiffin of Theplas to the Eiffel Tower or why we feel a deep sense of suspicion if a street in Zurich is too quiet?"" To be Indian is to be a professional observer of human behaviour. We don't just ""sightsee""; we audit. We compare the potholes of Rome to the craters of Mumbai. We judge the salt levels in a French Michelin-star meal. And we have a unique superpower: the ability to detect a fellow ""Desi"" in a crowded New York subway under three seconds using only a subtle head-nod. In Please Remove Your Shoes, seasoned C-suite professional and professional life-watcher Rajesh Seshadri takes you on a chaotic, witty, and unapologetically judgmental tour of 70 countries and 30 Indian states. From the ""Zen"" high-tech toilets of Japan to the ""Lath"" energy of Haryana; from the polite ""Sorrys"" of Canada to the aggressive ""Tu Jaanta Nahi Mera Baap Kaun Hai"" of Delhi-this is the world seen through the lens of a man who hates traffic, survives on caffeine, and truly believes that the ultimate test of any civilization is the quality of its street food and its ability to handle a ""thoda adjust maadi"" request. Whether you are a confused NRI, a serial traveller, or someone who just struggles with the daily commute, this book is your guide to the absurd beauty of our world. Take off your shoes. Grab a samosa. The world is weird, but at least we can laugh about it.
