Off the Corporate Bus and into the Creativity Boat
Be Curious. Be Innovative. Be Different.
Too often, being innovative and original is considered the forte of a select few. But all of us are born creative. We are born curious. It is the fear of doing something different – and failing at it – that limits our potential.
Aditi Singh is a topnotch product manager. Many covet her job but she wants nothing more than to quit. When she finally takes a muchneeded vacation from her seemingly perfect corporate life, she meets Dr. Shiv Prakash, an odd little man who is a master storyteller.
Through his unusual imaginings, he challenges Aditi to find her true passion. As they spend more time together, Aditi uncannily begins to relate to the characters of his stories. Questions are raised and challenges are set. This time, Aditi has to decide what she really wants. Running away is no more an option. It’s time to write her own story.
Through its charming characters, Off the Corporate Bus and Into the Creativity Boat offers a glimpse of what you can truly be. It invites you to pursue your passion and strive for true happiness, all while being unique.
Ashoo Khosla is an alumnus of Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, and a gold medalist from Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla. She is an entrepreneur and lives currently in Abu Dhabi with her husband and two daughters. She also teaches a course on creativity at Shoolini University, India. Her insights on creativity not only come from her experience in medicine and management, but also from the training in Hindustani music that she has been receiving for the last few years.

A perfect book on creativity which is part fiction, part self-help. It has very easy-to-understand illustrations which make the content more relatable. There is so much to takeaway from this book and apply to our lives.
Being in a creative field, this book helped me come to terms with the dilemma of plagiarism. One of the chapter lays down the differences between plagiarism and developing ideas.
Enjoyed it too!
