I spent 13 years in SEO. I worked night shifts at ₹8,000 a month. I moved cities for love. I survived COVID. I got married, had a daughter, built a home on credit, and gave four years to a company that let me go the moment it was convenient.
By the time I rejoined my old company at ₹48,000 a month, my debt had climbed to ₹12 lakh.
This is not a success story. I'm 37 and I'm still in the middle of it.
This book is for anyone who has ever done everything right - worked hard, showed up, kept going - and still found themselves behind. It's about the real cost of private employment in India, the slow violence of staying underpaid too long, and what happens when you build a life on EMIs and then lose your income.
It's also about a daughter who says Papa, Ghummi Ghummi and makes quitting feel like something you're simply not allowed to do.
No fake motivation. No success at the end. Just hard lessons, earned the expensive way - and the hope that reading them saves you from learning them yourself.
