Rash Decisions

About the Book

RASH DECISIONS charts the first year of self-employment for Rashmi Biswas who spent several years in the corporate world striving for elusive accolades, total fulfillment, and work-life balance. Narrated with honesty (she even shares her food diary) the book incorporates the themes of family, friends, politics, gender issues, and yoga set against the backdrop of starting a new business. Throughout the book Rashmi shares stories from her life taking a close look at past decisions, including moving countries and not joining the army. By accepting the decisions she has made Rashmi learns to “meet herself where she is” and applies a business planning model to chart a positive outlook for her future.
