    Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
    Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
    In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
    I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
    Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
    Warm regards, 
    Anshumala Singh
