India Unplugged. What Really Happens When You Are Traveling, Living and Working in India

If you want to complement your India travel guide with a fun book to read, India unplugged is for you!

Part travelogue, part memoir, and part advice for India travelers, this book is a delightful account of a twenty-something expat working and living in Bangalore.

This is not another India travel guide about which forms to fill out, but rather a fun and refreshing collection of short stories packed with witty observations, quirky one-liners and hilarious cultural misunderstandings.
Instead of going to expat parties, this young woman has mingled with the locals and thrown herself into the Indian life. She made Indian friends and worked with Indian colleagues and bosses. Her immersion into the Indian culture and her unique encounters make for unusual stories told in a funny yet personal way. We are taken along as she goes about her daily life and her travels.
Unlike in most other expat books, Aurelia gives us a generous peak into her daily life in the Indian office and shares entertaining and sometimes embarrassing tales about her own cultural blunders.
Expats will relate to many of her experiences and will find delight in Aurelia’s down-to-earth and humorous way of describing her life in India.

The book consists of four parts:
1.Traveling in India is about Aurelia’s first encounters with India and its people. You will read entertaining tales about what can go wrong while traveling in India.
2.Living in India includes hilarious stories about Aurelia trying to figure out how things work in India – like dating Indian men.
3.Working in India talks about minor and major culture clashes and awkward situations in the modern Indian office.
4.Your trip to India is the most unusual India travel guide that you can find: it gives you the kind of information that you won’t get elsewhere.

Entertaining, witty, and insightful, India unplugged is an irresistible treat for armchair tourists and an India travel guide for the adventurous backpacker alike.
