Unusual Story of a Usual Corporate Couple

I have checked Yashodhara's tweet about "How I became farmer's wife" book's cover and I instantly liked it. I haven't read any book by her but the title and the cover were too attractive when mail reached to my inbox. I instantly said yes. I started reading the book the moment I have received courier.

I am not sure whether it is a real story or fiction work, but characters, author, and her husband name are used in the story. Yashodhara our protagonist is having a successful corporate career with a leading tablet seller in India. Her husband was also in a successful career. But he wanted to try his hands in farming. He had a dream of having farm fresh veggies in their kitchen. At same time Yashodhara has started working on her next novel, a romance genre, but she was not confident about the book. On the top of that, her life is completely chaotic due to her three kids. When Vijay took the decision seriously Yashodhara was not sure how he would manage a full-time job with the farm, but she supported his dream. And then started funfilled trips to farm with/without their kids, Vijay's daily updates on farm, activities, struggle he faced while handling these activities.

The book is written in very steady and simple tone. You will enjoy humor/sarcasm used at places. Yashodhara (author) has a unique style in narrating incidents, which I loved (I am thinking of checking other books by her)

Talking about characters, her three kids peanut, papad, and pickles are adorable (though mischievous at times) Yashodhara's character is portrayed as today's hyperactive woman, who is handling one full-time job, one part-time job, one full-time passion and what not. Vijay is the guy I loved the most. A real struggle in the new field without hesitation. Those who would like to get inspiration we have Yashodhara and Vijay from this book.

Some advice to readers
1) Don't read it in public, you may laugh while reading. (Just to save some awkward moments)
2) This is not a manual/self-help book on agriculture
3) You may end up reading this book in 2-3 sittings keep tea or coffee handy

I have already recommended this book to many friends.

It is a real-life account. The story of how an upwardly mobile couple get into dairy farming and the resulting hustle and tribulations said with humor. I liked it. It is an easy read and the writing was breezy. Though the humor wasn't LOL-kind, it kept you smiling from time to time. But the incidents that happen along the way were kind of repetitive in the middle that I put off reading the book for a while and completed reading half a dozen other books before picking it again. But on picking it again, I was like "what was wrong, it is quite good". so if you like the blurb, give it a go. Rating more like 3.5 stars because I have given 4 stars for far more sophisticated works.

[Shreya · Rating 5 out of 5]

In one word this book is AWESOME. This was my first book of Yashodhara Lal and I was in awe of her writing.  This book has a power of keeping the audience engaged with the writing and the plot. It does sounds and seems very hilarious when city boys go unconventional and try to quit their job and take up something like farming. Farming requires a lot of patience and is not an easy task.

So, in the beginning, we see how Yashodhara is caught off guard when Vijay announces that he will seriously take up farming. But as the story progresses, we see how they all come together as a family and supports Vijay. The theme of love, friendship and passion have been beautifully shown in the book.

Also, Papad, Pickle, and Peanut added a dollop of humor to the story and they were the perfect comic relief one needed in the book. Sometimes irritating but most of the time witty and funny. I could definitely relate to Peanut because growing up I also had my face buried in a book and hated to go for any outings! Also, I used to complain that my ma always favors my brother the most!!!

I would highly recommend this book to you guys! Please go and read it because this is one of those hilarious and brutally honest books in need in your life.

3.5 stars!

This was a quick, fun read. A fictionalised memoir of the author that talks about how she became a farmer's wife (surprise!) I did get annoyed with Y at how she treated the people around her, but there's a character arc in there that I warmed to, even seeing why she behaved the way she did. I enjoyed reading it and for those of you who want a warm, funny read to engage yourselves in, this is one you should definitely pick up!

I now know how to trap a snake 😊. This book is even more interesting as I was a customer in Vijay’s farming project for both the milk and the vegetables. Yash is a friend and I am so glad she is back to this genre.

[Tulika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fictionalised memoirs are definitely Yashodhara Lal’s forte. After her debut book Just Married Please Excuse, we meet her again, and her husband Vijay with the triple bonus of her three kids.

Vijay, an engineer with a full-time job, decides to take up farming. We follow his story as he struggles to set up his farm right from planting vegetables (because he loves the idea of apne khet ki gobhi), to buying cows, and handling the motley crew that makes up the help. The farm hiccups along solely on Vijay’s passion and his determination to realise a dream. It is hard work, full of hreatbreak and yet comes with immeasurable rewards.

Lal handles the story with her characteristic humour. It isn’t laugh-out-loud hilarious (like her first) but it still is a fun read. Her writing is realistic, too realistic sometimes. The first few pages that described the chaos with the children, were so close to the truth, like a mirror to my own anarchic home, that I felt my blood pressure rise and almost put away the book in fright.

However, there are plenty of good bits too.

She weaves in a host of characters, good, bad and ugly. The wily Shukla ji, the endearing Mobeen and his family, Akshata the yoga teacher (I want one like her) as also the familiar Kajal didi. The story of the farm is interwoven with her own internal complexes and struggles as well as tales of grappling with a pair of twins and a fast-growing tween.

My biggest takeaway from the book was that it never is easy to step out of one’s comfort zone but that is exactly what one has to do if one wants to follow a dream. I loved Vijay’s doggedness and I have to hand it to him for the ploughing on ahead (pun intended) despite the thousand set-backs.

Also, as a mom, the book reminded me that children are more than willing to give up their gadgets if we show them the fun they can have outdoors. I loved how Peanut, Pickle and Papad connected with the farm and farm animals.

On the flip side the book gets tiresome in parts, the struggles too many and too long and I’m not just talking about the farm. Pickle and Papad seem too hung up on technology and Peanut is in a whole different world – they all are kind of scattered and disconnected. I didn’t get as much of a warm family vibe as I expected from the book. So that was a bit of a disappointment.

A little more humour might have done the trick, or maybe a greater focus on what kept the family together during those crazy days. But then maybe that’s all meant to happen in Madhya Pradesh.

Last thought: Pick it up if you’re looking for a fun slice-of-life read.

[Samama Reza · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wasn’t exactly expecting to find anything captivating in ‘How I Became a Farmer’s Wife’ before starting it but I was surprised to find it quite hilarious after reading it. Probably because I could relate to their strict rules and troubles with my group of Indian friends very much. (My Indian friends had really strict rules in their childhood that were given to them by their parents, from waking up till going to sleep they always had such nicely structured schedules that I sometimes liked admiring them, but never personally bothered following through with their strict schedule myself, LOL!)

So this book was totally different from the books I read this year, and it had a touch of reality sprinkled with comical occurrences.

The characters were interesting. They were funny and oddly, I saw little parts of my childhood in the kids, even though I obviously wasn’t as bratty as them… or maybe I was… But how will know THAT?

I liked the way the farm and its atmosphere was described.

Though I must confess I felt like the story had been a little too stretched out between 100 to 200 pages. Other than that it was fine.

A 3 out of 5 stars for this novel.

About the story: Vijay’s unsuspecting wife Yashodhara is caught off guard when, tired of the rigors of city life, he actually buys seven cows and starts dairy farming! As if she didn't have enough going on already, what with her high-octane job, three children and multiple careers.

Plucked out of their comfortable urban existence in the steel-and-chrome high-rises of Gurgaon, the hapless family is thrown headfirst into a startlingly unfamiliar world, complete with cows and crops, multiple dogs and eccentric farmhands, a shrewd landlady 'Aunty' and the occasional rogue snake.

[Zarreen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Disclaimer: I personally know the author, know what her family looks like, know what the farm she’s described looks like. And the joy of the book was in knowing she’s not exaggerating or spinning a web for the sake of it. This is her story (mostly, I guess)

What really worked for me was the mix of warmth (Vijay’s passion for farming) and humour (the hilarious kids). And I appreciated the fact that yash portrayed herself not as a superwoman but also exposed her flaws. But what won it for me was vijay’s relationship with papaji.

[beautywithbooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a hilarious, witty and easy read. This can be called as a memoir. The story revolves around the author's multi facet life, including her three children - peanut, pickle and papad - and husband Vijay. The author is working as a marketing professional, but also takes zumba classes on Saturday, going for guitar and yoga classes, and writing her next book.

Her husband always had a dream to own a land and do farming. But Yashodhara never even though in her dreams that her husband will really make his dream a reality. A casual statement of encouragement from Yashodhara makes her husband determined and he sets up his own dairy farms with partnership with is friend Achu by renting few acres of land.

The story gives some insight on farming and caring about animals. It also shows the difficulties and risks involved in following ones dream of becoming a farmer, arranging labour, procurement of seeds, getting animals and machineries for dairy farming.

In the beginning, Vijay and kids are skeptical towards dogs, but as the need arises, they plan to get one dog. But end of getting five, which includes 4 pus. By the end of the story all have fallen love with the animals and its heartbreaking to deal with the death of few of the animals, mostly because of few lazy fellows who are very careless at their job. Things become more troublesome when Vijay and Achu have to share the land with few babas who keeps on either creating trouble or complaining.

The story narrates, how a city dwellers work against all odds to open up his dairy farm and is able to deliver dairy fresh milk to households. The ending is little emotional but hilarious as well with Vijay's new dream taking shape.

The author's life itself is very inspiring and how her husband faces and tackles all the troubles head on is commendable. An wonderfully written, enjoyable read to keep the readers engrossed.

[Ashima Jain · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a sequel of sorts to Yashodhara Lal’s debut novel – Just Married, Please Excuse, though it doesn’t explicitly say so and both books can be read independent of each other. It picks up from an incident mentioned in the first book where Vijay decides he wants to buy a plot of land. It is sufficed to say their experience doesn’t quite work out as planned. Nonetheless, twelve years, three children, and a change of city haven’t deterred Vijay one bit. Thus begins Yashodhara’s journey into becoming a farmer’s wife.

Like her debut earlier, How I became a Farmer’s Wife is a fictionalised memoir and she narrates it with the same breezy humour that comes naturally to this exasperated mom who’d love nothing better than to Zumba some sense into her husband’s head.

Yash has three hyper-active kids on her hand and reading about their antics is proof that the Lal-Sharma household would be no less than a zoo. She swears by her rules of discipline and is adept at dodging their mom vs. dad games, while secretly resorting to her own brand of underhand games every once in a while, to win them over.

Meanwhile, Vijay, having decided to pursue his passion for farming, is floating in Mooli and Gobhi heaven. The idea that he can eat as many parathas made from farm-fresh vegetables and wash them down with fresh cow’s milk is his self-certified guarantee of A+ health. But the engineer in him only has a seed of an idea and no farming expertise whatsoever to implement it. And that’s when the real trouble begins.

I imagine the author must have maintained a diary log to record their experiences. There is so much happening in everyone’s lives, and all interconnected, that it would be impossible to keep track. In addition, there are all these new, eccentric characters on the farm, both two-legged and four, who pose quite a challenge to keep up with.

However, the farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t be a farmer, and perhaps that adage is what keeps Vijay going even after he faces one hurdle after another. Yash can only watch – sometimes amused but mostly shocked – as Vijay is practically running on fumes, what with his passion slowly eating away his sanity along with that of his wife.

Lal has a fabulous knack of storytelling when it comes to her own life. The tongue-in-cheek humour, stolen moments, everyday disasters – they all play out in glorious colour in your head and you begin to wonder where exactly does fact cross over into fiction. Then again, you would have to read it to find out, though it may be wise not to believe every word you read.

[Bewitchingly Paranoid · Rating 4 out of 5]

To be honest, I was a little astonished when I received this book. Reading the blurb I got interested and went on reading it. To my surprise, I found this book very amusing. So the book starts with Yashodhara flipping out when she finds out that her husband, Vijay, decides to pursue his passion for farming. Once she understands the scenario, she does every single thing to support him and make his dream transform into a reality. The only issue arising, Vijay wants to be a farmer but being an engineer, he has no expertise in what it takes to be an actual farmer.

Although this book is said to be a fictional memoir, still once you start reading this book, you will find many aspects to be relatable in a lot of sense. The way both Yashodhara and her husband, Vijay, evolves is something to be taken points about. What I really like about this book is how the entire concept of starting fresh in terms of career has been portrayed. There are always a good amount of risks involved in following one’s dream of becoming a farmer, arranging labour, procurement of seeds, getting animals and types of machinery for dairy farming, being an engineer he might have had some ideas but who really knows about all this, the way Yashodhara supports him through the entire journey is mind-blowingly amazing.

Talking about the writing style, it is plain, simple, witty, humorous and understandable. You don’t require to think much about the fancy words as there are none, you don’t need to consult a dictionary every other second. It’s a proper amount of story with an interesting storyline, to be honest. I didn’t really assume I will like this book cause the genre is absolutely different, but I myself was absolutely stunned! A must read and I am going to emphasize a “must read” for those who want to start something on their own, helps a lot!

I loved this book so much. This book is a fun filled roller coaster ride with Yashodhara and her family.
The book starts with Vijay’s proposal to buy a plot of land for farming and how yashodhara takes it light. But when everything happens immediately, their city life is turned upside down as they move to their farmland.
This book is funny and witty as the author takes us with her family to witness the crazy world that awaits them. This also blends a strong message for current Indian gen in the background on the prospects of farming.
The narration is amazing. I was totally into the book from the beginning. The author has delivered a strong subject with ease in an enchanting manner.
The characters feel so real and genuine that I couldn’t stop myself from adoring Vijay and the kids. The plot is well-crafted and has fleshed out characters on a simple setting.
This book has inspired me to look into the possibilities of farming, mind me the chaos it is gonna put me in.
It is a light, breezy read. I highly recommend this if you are looking for a strong subject and some fun.
Loved the cover and the font.

For someone who thinks forever before picking up a book by an Indian author, it took me seconds to decide I wanted my hands on this one. The premise, by itself, was so interesting. And I am glad to point out the book did not disappoint. For a person who loves anything to do with gardens and plants, this was a delight!

I had no idea how hard it was to be a farmer but well, Yashodhara has unraveled it all in this very funny, quick read. The hilarious dialogues and witty comments make this an enjoyable read.

The book draws a parallel between three generations, their actions, and reactions, all of which create a funny scene and you find yourself nodding your head to how it relates to the people around you.

The book never gets boring and you find yourself turning page after page and miss it all when the book finishes.

If you are a wannabe farmer or are trying to discourage someone from stepping into farming, this just might be the book you are looking for.

[Nidhi Srivastava · Rating 3 out of 5]

It took a long time to publish this book review. The plot is fascinating with a different concept of farming. Well, in this world who wishes to dirty their hands in the dirty, among the farm animals… of course, that would be Vijay- our Farm man. There were few things which I could relate to ‘Y’. A woman in true meaning, juggling with tasks… Zumba, Yoga, music class and Kids. I loved the names these kids have- Pickle, Papad and Peanut. The book has described the characters so well… Rama didi being a genius doctor, Papaji supporting Vijay in his farm venture. Achu who was a great best friend and a ‘pardner’ to Vijay. I was a bit heart broken when the kids were neglected by Y and Vijay. But, later realized the modern day struggle of parents juggling around job and household chores. The story also highlights how a partner should be… supportive enough to back you up when it is most needed. There, by the end I was emotionally attached to the farm dogs who entered into the picture and became a part of Vijay and Y’s life. When you begin reading you might become judgmental about the things happening around. However, later you will be glad things didn’t turn the way you assumed them to be. There are a lot of questions which start to pop in head…. Will Y ever finish her book? Will Y leave her passion being frustrated from her life? Will Vijay quit the farm bearing huge losses every month? Will Mobeen turn out to be cruel? Will the kids to some mischief again? Yet again, there are a lot of things this plot teaches about married life and having your kids all around you every time.

Yashodhara's wit and sense of humour makes her books fun and this one was punctuated with real memories making it a treat to read. A mature world view about relationships made it more meaningful. I enjoyed the 'Slice of Life' realism and the easy banter with her husband and kids as much as the commentary on modern life and the trials & tribulations of our so called 'luxurious life'. You won't regret reading such a contemporary novel which is yet rooted to age old values.

[Bhavya · Rating 1 out of 5]

I found the book's title misleading. I expected a lot more about the transition from a corporate lifestyle to that of farming and agriculture but the book mainly deals with the protagonist's multitasking abilities. I was trying to find something else but failed. Easy to understand and a quick read if no expectations or serious interest in agriculture.

Reading – Easy Read

One of the most talked about book on Instagram 🙂

I had been reading a lot about this book since it was published & having read the author’s previous written – Just Married, Please Excuse I was looking forward to a light & humorous read.

Yashodhara , her husband, 3 kids – elder daughter Peanut & twin sons – papad & pickle, her father-in-law & their helps all live in Gurgaon. Both corporate slaves living the urban life. Vijay, Yashodhara’s husband has always been keen on farming which was established in Just Married, goes ahead & fulfills his dream in this one when his friend Achu agrees to be his Pardner. Thanks to Achu he is introduce to “Aunty” who rents them part of Aashram area for farming. And then begins the amazing roller-coaster ride of research, manpower search, cattle, farming equipment’s & multiple rides to the farm located on the outskirts of Gurgaon.

While Vijay is busy setting up with farm, procuring cattle, etc Y is struggling at her day-time job of a Brand Manager in a Tablet brand. Along with the job she is a Zumba instructor, learning Yoga, Music, an author & running the show at home. She takes us through her journey of life, struggles – at work, home, personal life, etc She loves multi-tasking but needs to calm down a little.

Like Vijay I also dream of owning a farmhouse, dogs, growing my own vegetables, etc. But this book was an eye opener & prepared me for the struggles one has to go through – preparing the land, manpower, selecting the cattle, machinery, etc At the farm you get introduced to the cattle – Meera – Vijay’s fav cow, Sudhir, Mobeen, his kids & others.

Slowly the farm is set & they decide to get a dog. Rani with her 4 puppies is welcomed by the family at the farm. The “Rani” aspect of the book is beautiful. The way the author narrates the emotions that everyone goes through when they enter into their lives, the bond each one including the kids share with each one of them is beautiful. What follows next is how actually tedious is the whole process of running a farm when you stay away from it, the struggles you face physically, mentally & emotionally. And how its feels to loose someone you love.

While reading this I felt I was living with Y & her family, I was part of it. The narration is so simple & smooth that you feel its actually happening around you. Every character is well defined & through her writing the author keeps you absolutely engaged except for few parts. Absolutely relatable, this is one book that I will recommend for a sure.

I came across this book in an airport book shop when travelling was a thing ⌛️ after billing, I had already purchased a book for my reading so didn’t pick it up. But the book cover and the simple story left me intrigued. So one day whilst browsing for books, I actually ended up searching this and buying. A simple story of a corporate couple in the city life, well established, well settled with normal equations and way of living and then suddenly how the farming bug bites the husband. Leaving the wife bewildered, confused, uprooted, scared and many more things. This is their and their children’s story and how as a family they come to terms with it, the issues they face and hardships. You can relate to the day to day situations and the equations created. It’s a beautiful story, especially ringing true now, with grow your own veggies and farm to table and self sustainable living garnering more mileage in covid times. It makes for a breezy weekend read. When you just want a happy go lucky book to calm your senses. Yashodhra does resonate with today’s woman with the hyper active, wanting to do all and the go getter woman she is. We catch a glimpse of ourselves in her, the kids (peanut , pickle , papad) are so today’s age hooked to gadgets and today’s problems - adorable and mischievous, intelligent all in one. Vijay the husband is busy balancing everything atleast he tries to. You will like this book for its simple tone and narration.
This wasn’t available on Amazon, I got this from Starmarks.

Awesome Memoir...👌👍

Beautiful memoir of how her husband takes up his passion for farming.

In this book, the author has brought out the sequence of events happening in her life being a Farmer’s wife.

The author has well written in a simple language and easy read. It keeps the readers engrossed in the book.

The book revolves around her multi-talented facets in her life which includes her family, her corporate life, being a mother, zumba instructor, her passion for music and learning yoga and lastly, how she supports her husband being farmer’s wife.

It also takes us on a journey from her hubby’s idea of taking up farming to the risks involved and how to cope up with the problems involved in it.

I loved the author’s wonderful description of the farm which makes the readers visualise and feels lively.

How as a farmer they found the rented land, procure seeds, labour, veggies, dairy farming, cows, dogs and mango grove trees, children liking for the farm and animals, the babas, and the loss and emotions attached to it are dealt in this book.

The technological game of the kids ‘Hay Day’ turning into a real life incidents for kids to enjoy in the farm.

Awesome Memoir👌👍

• This is the first book I've read by the author, which is the sequel to her previous romance-centered novels. Yashodhara is an uptight and caring mother of three, with very little time for her kids, husband or even herself. Things are barely managable when her husband gets adamant about executing his long awaited plans for farming.
• Right from the particulars about cattle rearing, farming, soil, fertilizers to intricately explained difficulties faced while procuring land and labour, the author narrates this memoir like story without making it boring.
• The plot moves forward steadily and her writing is smooth, humorous and enjoyable with minimal plotholes and lucid language. It manages to keep us engrossed.

The story revolves around a family engaged with there corporate work style, yet there craving for setting up their dream business never end.

Considering the ebb and flow in business, jumping into it anyway, this story depicts the mental and financial states of the characters as they move on with their ideas, by taking up a piece of land, care takers, then cows , later dogs building an entire different world for themselves on the outskirts.

I personally feel there is a lot of drag in the description, but every day to day story ought to be that way in-order to allow the reader feel commonality.
