Shruthi Harikrishna is proof that spreadsheets and sketches can peacefully coexist. A state rank holder, a computer science engineer and an MBA from IIM Bangalore, she spends her days making sense of numbers and solving problems in her role handling analytics at a global software giant. But it is afterhours when she explores the lighter, more whimsical side of life through words, art and humour. Her blog, TameShru@Wordpress, with over 20,000 views (a delightful surprise to her!), was where she first started sharing her quirky take on everyday life. She also dabbles in storytelling, with her short story winning the Deccan Herald Short Story competition in 2014. When she is not writing, you will find her creating intricate Zen tangles on Whorls of Maya or sharing quirky doodles on Doodle. Doodle. Do—both spaces that she considers her creative playgrounds. Whether it is a blog, a doodle, or a story, Shruthi aims to make the heart smile, the brain tickle and life feel a little lighter—if only for a moment. This book is her way of blending her love for storytelling and problem-solving into a light-hearted guide to managing life’s ups and downs.
