Book discussion with Pratil Harsh 

Title : Paw-rents of the year 

Brief : Paw-Rents of the Year is a fictionalized account of a high-powered legal couple, Ishu and Neeti Singh, as they navigate the "Bandra War Zone"—the soul-crushing, high-stakes ecosystem of Mumbai’s corporate elite. The story serves as a "forced systems reset," exploring the struggle to balance professional ambition with personal peace through the lens of law, legacy, and the unconditional love of their three dogs.

The Dual-Front War Zone

The narrative centers on Ishu Singh, the Senior Director of Legal Strategy for Zenith Media Group, and Neeti Singh, one of Bollywood’s most feared celebrity media lawyers. Their lives are measured in "billable hours"—six-minute increments that serve as a relentless master. Despite their professional success and "minimalist luxury" lifestyle, they find themselves effectively corporate prisoners in their own home, communicating mostly through passive-aggressive Post-it notes on their espresso machine.
