Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai, Piyush Mishra

by Piyush Mishra

Translated by Shillpi A Singh

English 1 edition

Piyush Mishra’s life has never followed a script. From a turbulent childhood in Gwalior to his years of artistic rebellion at the National School of Drama, and his complicated journey through fame, betrayal, addiction and self-sabotage, Mishra has always lived at the crossroads of despair and brilliance. In Tumhari Auqaat Kya Hai, Piyush Mishra , a story resounding with dark humour and lyrical rage, he holds nothing back. Through his alter ego Santap Trivedi, also known as Hamlet, Mishra presents a brutally honest self-portrait-of a man grappling with the weight of expectations, the intoxication of celebrity life, the poignant struggle of relationships and the lifelong, restless pursuit of meaning through art. Raw, unsettling and electric, this is a memoir unlike any other-it is a howl against conformity and a testament to survival. It is an ode to a life well-lived, in style.
