As much with life, parenting in the new millennium does not come with an instruction manual. If you happen to be a girl about town, a super successful career woman, a must-live-each-day-as-it-comes kind of person, impending motherhood can be as imposing as a trip to outer space without an oxygen mask. Battle Hymn Of A Bewildered Mother isn’t just another run-of-the-mill parenting book, in fact it is opposite of everything you know.
Shunali Khullar Shroff in Battle Hymn of a Bewildered Mother begins her journey as someone chronically devoid of what is naturally termed as the maternal instinct. But in spite of her misgivings, she eventually realizes there is nothing else she’d rather be doing than burping her babies while avoiding all traces of tranquilizers. This brilliant, whimsical, bumpy tale of everyday madness has a voice of a mother both honest and hilarious.
The book also contains a forward by Actor Priyanka Chopra.
From exchanging her corporate suits for mess-retardant mommy wear, from balancing work clients to battling two girls’ questions and demands, this book is a journey of a mother constantly walking on thin ice over the Bermuda Triangle. Based on the principles of lunacy and humour, Shunali Khullar Shroff reveals the realities of a parent in today’s ultramodern, supersonic, and chaotic world.
About The Author
Shunali Khullar Shroff has worked variously as a journalist, a freelance writer and the owner of a successful PR firm by the name of Spindoctors. That, however, was another incarnation. As soon as the storks visited her, she plunged into motherhood with the trepidation of a reluctant airdiver about to take her first leap of faith. An eternal optimist, she mistakenly assumed that she could retire to being a lady of leisure once the kids were out of their diapers. But soon she realized that happy challenges of motherhood last a lifetime.
Ergo she took to writing a now widely read blog in order to hear herself think. Shunali is an inveterate traveler and apart from writing about parenting and social trends she blogs extensively about travel. Shunali lives in Mumbai with her husband, two daughters, a geriatric dog, and his juvenile companion.
