The cubicle life in Mumbai is waiting, but the author has one rare, glorious summer to burn—a last, desperate spree of freedom before trading his worn-out shorts for business casual. Curry Summer is the travelogue of a man desperate to find an anchor before practicality pulls him under. His journey is a magnificent, chaotic odyssey across India—from a spiritual pilgrimage with his mother in Amritsar and diving into the political cacophony of Kolkata, to testing the bonds of brotherhood on Royal Enfield motorcycles across the high passes of Ladakh. But as the miles pile up, so do the questions. What does legacy look like for someone who can’t even find matching socks? What if purpose isn’t a grand discovery but a slow accumulation of missed trains, late-night chai, and people who leave small, unshakeable imprints along the way? In the end, Curry Summer is not just about where you travel, but what follows you home. A book, like a journey, never serves two people the same purpose. This is a story about finding your root, your voice, and realising that existential dread looks fantastic with a Himalayan backdrop.
