  This is the true story of how an ‘Average Joe’ found success and then became a victim of that success.  
  One among ten children, the author, Mohandas enjoys a happy childhood in the heart of a loving family, but finds himself ill-prepared when he is propelled out of the cocoon into a world where earning is key and results are everything. Mohandas lands his first job in seafood exports and takes to it like a fish to water. These are the days of the Licence Raj and soon Mohandas is scrambling to woo buyers, dodge competition and untangle red tape. 
  How this cocooned ‘caterpillar’ turns to be a free-flying, confident ‘butterfly’, flying in the face of all odds makes up the rest of this story, dotted with colourful anecdotes, playful romance and heartwarming family ties. 
  If success and failure are two sides of a coin, the coin flips this way and that in the author’s life proving the interesting premise that ‘Success beyond a measure is a recipe for Failure’. A compelling inspiring and authentic memoir of how to get back on your feet when life knocks you down…again and again.

  God of No Good

  Sita Walker

  Sita Walker was raised by five strong matriarchs who taught her to believe in God and to Be Good. Her grandmother, mother and three aunts believed in unshakeable faith, in the power of prayer, in sacrifice, in magic, in the healing of turmeric and tea, and the wisdom of dreams. 
   
  But as hard as she tries to be good, Sita always suspects that deep down, she isn’t very good at all. 
   
  At 35, she hasn’t prayed in years, her dream of true love has died, and along with it, her faith – not that she’s telling her mother, or her aunts. Instead, she abandons religion in secret, ‘taking tiny pieces of God away, one by one, under cover of darkness.’ 
   
  Now, the only way she can fulfil her destiny is to seek out the wisdom of the ones who came before, and truly understand the women who raised her. But will they understand her? Either way, the matriarchy will never be the same again. 
   
  Traversing decades and continents – from Iran to India, Sri Lanka to the Czech Republic, Adelaide to the Torres Strait – The God of No Good is a beautifully lyrical and funny intergenerational memoir about six women and how their lives intertwine.
