About the Author

The author Sunder Rajan was a Senior Executive who spent over 20 years climbing the corporate ladder before realizing life was more than presentations and keeping bosses happy. Post-retirement for 10 years he taught Management, IT and Finance and having a captive audience in his students meant he could subject them to his first attempt at cartoons. Emboldened on seeing them emerge unscathed from this experience he used the time during the lockdown of 2020 to add to the collection covering the frenetic news events of the time. The result is a book of over 90 plus cartoons. Groucho Marx once said about a book by a budding author “...I’ve just picked up your book and was convulsed with laughter, I really must read it sometime..”. Well, I’ll settle for a chuckle here and there as long as you read the book.
