Hyderabad
(Telangana) [India], June 28: Sanjay
Shukla (S.J.), a Hyderabad-based writer and content professional, has released
his debut book The Liar’s Guide: How to Lie Effectively and Get Away With
It – a humorous and culturally rooted take on the everyday lies we all
live with. The book is now available on Amazon, Flipkart, and Notion Press.
In an era where
‘truth’ is filtered and fibbing is almost social currency, The Liar’s
Guide holds up a witty mirror to modern life. From harmless excuses like
“I’m five minutes away” to classic workplace jhooth like “I’ve read
the report,” the book explores how we navigate society with small, strategic
untruths — often without even realizing it.
“This book is not a
manual for deception — it’s an honest, funny look at the lies we tell to
survive office deadlines, social pressure, and dinner with relatives. It’s a
celebration of being human — flawed, funny, and occasionally full of
it,” says author Sanjay Shukla.
The idea for the book
took shape over countless chai breaks and storytelling sessions at old Irani
cafés of Hyderabad — places known more for ‘phenkna’ (exaggeration)
than fact. Drawing inspiration from everyday Indian settings, the book examines
why we lie, how we lie, and what these fibs reveal about us.
A seasoned writer with
a background in journalism, corporate storytelling, and satire, Sanjay blends
sharp observation with desi humour, resulting in a read that is insightful,
nostalgic, and laugh-out-loud funny.
Published by Notion
Press, the book is available in paperback (₹199),
hardbound (₹299), and eBook formats.
Currently, the eBook is available exclusively on Amazon Kindle.
