'It's All in the Mix' |
The perfect location for a book launch. Satish and Mickey invited a small group of family and friends and launched Mickey's debut book - a lovely cook book titled 'It's All In The Mix'. We showed up on time, met Satish and Mickey, our other pals from OU MBA - Shrini, Bijju with their better halves Prashanti and Aparna and Shrini's young son Nikhil.

Satish beginning the proceedings - Shrini, Nikhil and me listening intently |
Looking formal and dressed for the occasion Satish started the proceedings with a lovely introduction to the book, Mickey's journey as a cook, adding little details in his own unique, insightful and humourous manner. Mickey's friend Ms Carmaline Mario did a well thought out Q and A with her - why the title, her journey as a cook, what she wants to achieve with the book and many more such questions.

Mickey in conversation with her friend Ms. Carmaline Mario |
I was given the honour of launching the book with Mickey who spoke about her journey, remembered her mother emotionally, before we unveiled the much awaited book.

Launched - 'Its All in the Mix' enter the world |
I spoke about the difficulty of authoring a book and also how satisfying the process is when it finally takes shape and comes into the world. A few more questions from Mickey who put the men in a hot spot by asking questions related to cooking.

The Singhs - Nikhil, Mickey, Rahul and Satish |
After the even we all drank some soft drinks and chai, ate sandwiches and samosas, bought our copies, got them signed by Mickey and left. It was a lovely event with a wonderful vibe and I was glad to be a part of it.
