Shlok's Dad
Shlok's
Dad
A
Father's Perspective of Parenthood
by
Vivek Sharma
Genre:
Parenting, Fatherhood
What's
the difference between motherhood and fatherhood?
Motherhood
is like learning to drive a car. You start tentatively. Once you get
the hang of all gears or buttons, it is all about judgement, or
mother’s instinct.
Fatherhood,
on the other hand, is like sitting on a new roller coaster for the
first time. You just sit, holding white-knuckle tight. The ride takes
you around turns, bends and loops. All you can do is look around to
see if something has fallen, or try to avoid the vomit being hurled
all around you.
Buckle
up and join me as I relate to you my ups and downs, emotional and fun
moments; all experienced on the roller coaster ride called
parenting.
This
book is a light read to reassure new parents, nudge wannabe or unsure
parents; and for fellow parents to smile over similar experiences of
seeing their own offspring grow (puke, stumble, stub toes) and
reminisce over losing stuff, sleep, hair, teeth and shit.
Beware:
I have learnt all I know about being a father from my son, Shlok!

Vivek
Sharma is a B.Sc. in Physics, and holds an MBA in Finance, but
recalls nothing in detail about both subjects. He distinctly
remembers cutting classes and reading books or composing poetry, when
not whiling away time humming Bollywood songs.
He
claims to be climbing the rungs of the corporate ladder, as an
international Banker, but has been struggling to learn the ropes of
parenting since October 2009.
His
designation, since then, has been - Shlok's Dad. With the onset of
COVID-19, his wife has conferred upon him the additional title of
Shlok's Mom (part-time).

This looks like an amazing book for my son in law
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Debby, I hope he likes the book! Would be delighted to know how he found it.
DeleteThis looks like a fun, light read. Perfect for summer
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Deb. That's exactly how I meant the book, as a fun and light-read with a conversational, friendly tone.
DeleteSounds like a fun and inspiring book.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Kari!
DeleteThe book sounds like it would be a humorous and entertaining book. I think it would be beneficial to new parents to not take everything so seriously and for experienced parents it would be a light-hearted trip down memory lane, as I am sure it would spark lots of funny memories.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words. Your description about the book is spot-on, and I am amazed with your astute observation!
DeleteI like that it is parenting from a fathers point of view. Cute cover. Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lynn! Yeah that was the intent as most books I've read offer the mother's pov. Thanks for your comment on the cover too :-)
DeleteWhy am I having trouble saying Shlok? I do like this cover. Eye catching.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, that is sometimes an issue with Indian names, Mary! But I often try to help with a similar pronunciation. Like my name can also be pronounced as "We Wake". Similarly Shlok can be pronounced like you'd pronounce "Soak", but with an 'h' and 'l' sound embedded within!
DeleteI really appreciate that you liked the cover. We tried to include several elements from the book on the cover while designing it.
