Shlok's Dad

 


Shlok's Dad
A Father's Perspective of Parenthood
by Vivek Sharma
Genre: Parenting, Fatherhood



What's the difference between motherhood and fatherhood?

Motherhood is like learning to drive a car. You start tentatively. Once you get the hang of all gears or buttons, it is all about judgement, or mother’s instinct.
Fatherhood, on the other hand, is like sitting on a new roller coaster for the first time. You just sit, holding white-knuckle tight. The ride takes you around turns, bends and loops. All you can do is look around to see if something has fallen, or try to avoid the vomit being hurled all around you.
Buckle up and join me as I relate to you my ups and downs, emotional and fun moments; all experienced on the roller coaster ride called parenting.
This book is a light read to reassure new parents, nudge wannabe or unsure parents; and for fellow parents to smile over similar experiences of seeing their own offspring grow (puke, stumble, stub toes) and reminisce over losing stuff, sleep, hair, teeth and shit.
Beware: I have learnt all I know about being a father from my son, Shlok!

Vivek Sharma is a B.Sc. in Physics, and holds an MBA in Finance, but recalls nothing in detail about both subjects. He distinctly remembers cutting classes and reading books or composing poetry, when not whiling away time humming Bollywood songs.
He claims to be climbing the rungs of the corporate ladder, as an international Banker, but has been struggling to learn the ropes of parenting since October 2009.
His designation, since then, has been - Shlok's Dad. With the onset of COVID-19, his wife has conferred upon him the additional title of Shlok's Mom (part-time).

  4. The book sounds like it would be a humorous and entertaining book. I think it would be beneficial to new parents to not take everything so seriously and for experienced parents it would be a light-hearted trip down memory lane, as I am sure it would spark lots of funny memories.

    1. Thank you so much Lynn! Yeah that was the intent as most books I've read offer the mother's pov. Thanks for your comment on the cover too :-)

    1. Ha ha, that is sometimes an issue with Indian names, Mary! But I often try to help with a similar pronunciation. Like my name can also be pronounced as "We Wake". Similarly Shlok can be pronounced like you'd pronounce "Soak", but with an 'h' and 'l' sound embedded within!

      I really appreciate that you liked the cover. We tried to include several elements from the book on the cover while designing it.
