'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.

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.

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.

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.
