The Elephants in My Backyard: A Memoir by Rajiv Surendra

5.0

This is a beautiful story about forging your own path from failure. I absolutely loved the read and Rajiv’s approach to life and how everything around him is handmade. He gives attention to details and there is beauty surrounding him.

When most of us in today’s world, would sell our souls for money or a good position at work, here is Rajiv who would turn down huge contracts because he was confident he’d land the Pi part or that he’d only use white chalk for his wall calligraphy.

Reading the book is like taking an advice from a friend at your lowest lows. I admire his courage and the fact that he decided to tell his story. A wonderful read.
