Life is an emoji - Asha Iyer Kumar - Bog

Are there readymade solutions to our niggling concerns and everyday problems in life? No.Is there a standard operating procedure to deal with our internal and external conflicts? No.So, how do we find answers to life's myriad problems and know which direction to steer our boats? By pondering over the wherefores and asking the right questions to ourselves without evading the truth. Asha Iyer Kumar's 'Life is an Emoji' is a result of such routine deliberations about worldly realities. The articles in the book were originally published in Khaleej Times. With short anecdotes drawn from her daily life, the author examines its small and big dilemmas impartially. Each article is part of an inward journey that will prompt the readers to question their values and beliefs within the familiar contexts of human existence.The book does not preach, neither does it make unreal promises of rescue and redemption. Instead, it gives clarity of thought and a direction by walking the readers through the by lanes of life, prompting them to pause, observe and understand its small moments. It is a book that serves as a GPS to a driver who is willing to take the inner ride and reach the destination. Life is a sum total of the what, why and how of everyday experiences. It is an emoji with boundless expanse and expressions, representing all that we are - in body, mind and spirit.
