À propos de cet e-book


Shock to Shanti is an examination of what Archana Singh is committed to - her family, her work and her hobbies - vis-a-vis what she can handle, all influenced by her upbringing as a first-generation American. Divided into four sections, the fifteen essays here encompass a transient stretch known as Archana's mid-life transition. She uses her insight, compassion and humour to turn her personal experiences as a working mother and wife in the bustling city of Manhattan into stories that resonate with every reader juggling the demands of raising a family in a city. Sprinkled throughout are details of her Indian heritage, her immigrant parents' advice based on their village upbringing and insecurities caused by growing up as a minority with one foot each planted in two parts of the world.

À propos de l'auteur

Archana Singh was born and raised in Pittsburgh to parents who migrated from a small town in India. She holds an MS from Illinois Institute of Technology and a BS from Pennsylvania State University. Her experiences as a first-generation American, coupled with trying to emulate an impeccable life of a working mother and wife in New York City, provided the backdrop for her first book. Archana currently lives in San Francisco with her husband and two children. Prior to her recent move, she lived with her family in Manhattan, New York for thirteen years.
