Please Don't Touch That: Do’s, Don’ts, and definite Don’t-You-Dares for the Global Desi.
About this audiobook
"Arre, look... the world doesn't have a 'thoda adjust maadi' button."
Ever wondered why your friendly Indian head-wobble makes a Finnish CEO think you’re having a neurological event? Or why your innocent "shabaash" back-pat in a New York office could lead to a soul-crushing HR meeting?
In Please Don't Touch That, seasoned C-suite veteran and professional life-watcher Rajesh Seshadri returns with an unapologetic, rib-tickling guide to the Do’s, Don’ts, and definite Don’t-You-Dares of global travel. While Book 1 was about the "What," Book 2 is about the "How"—as in, how to stay out of a Singaporean jail and how to find your soul in a land of dry toilet paper.
Whether it’s the high-stakes "Salami of Skin" at the Vatican gate, the "Green Dot" struggle in a French bistro, or the "Quiet Sunday" dogma of Germany, Rajesh decodes the invisible boundaries that separate a Global Citizen from a confused tourist.
Inside this hilarious survival guide, you’ll discover:
The Handshake vs. The Bow vs. The Kiss: How to greet the world without accidentally proposing or head-butting a stranger.
The Food War: A survival kit for Vegetarians facing "Chicken-is-a-vegetable" logic, and Non-Vegetarians suffering from chronic "Spice Withdrawal."
The Fine Print: Why "Delhi-style" road rage in Dubai or jaywalking in Singapore is a one-way ticket to a very expensive disaster.
The Lota Legacy: A tactical approach to surviving a world that thinks a roll of sandpaper is an appropriate hygiene tool.
Funny, candid, and packed with "Uncle-wisdom," this is the ultimate manifesto for every Desi soul who wants to conquer the world—without losing their identity (or their passport).
