Celebrity blogger Malini Agarwal will come out with her first book next year in which of many other things she will also describe her journey and how she created the popular gossip site MissMalini.
The book will be published by HarperCollins India next August. When she first moved to Mumbai nearly two decades ago, he had two suitcases, one friend, and lived in an apartment with six girls and a pigeon.
"And every single night this suicidal bird would fly around the living room, where I slept on the floor, threatening to impale itself on the ceiling fan as I cowered under a bed sheet. My rent was Rs 625 and Facebook hadn't been invented yet," says Malini.
"All I had was an alpha numeric pager and a headful of dreams. But I wanted my life to be extraordinary and something told me that Mumbai city, with all its kitschy neon lights and leopard print taxis, was where that was going to happen. The next thing I know, 16 years on, I'm writing this book about things I never thought would appear as mildly horrific yet charming anecdotes," she says.
She hopes to make this book "useful with some virtual life hacks I picked up along the way."
Debasri Rakshit, Senior Commissioning Editor for Lifestyle at HarperCollins India, says, "Malini's is an amazing story. She has pioneered responsible celebrity blogging in India - MissMalini's pieces are real, fun, fearless and nuanced. We're very happy to have this opportunity to publish her first book.
