A leaf from life's book
If you want to know when will 'Tom finally kill Jerry', 'Amitabh Bachchan stop acting' or 'why Sachin Tendulkar is still playing'…well, F?@k Knows, by hugely successful Shailendra Singh, can help you find answers…
How could a guy who barely passed his graduation become a success in advertising, film production, sports sponsorship and more? F?@k Knows…well, this is Shailendra Singh's latest outing…as an author. "Life threw its own challenges at me and I sure wanted to recount the experiences in a movie or book; I wasn't sure," says Shailendra, in Chandigarh, on Friday.
He did choose the good-old form…writing…and after finishing the book, celebrated with champagne! "I did not think about finding a publisher or reaching out," he admits. "Big publishing houses are looking for writers and are pretty open, only you should write a book that people want to read," he adds.
