Thinking Aloud: Reflections on India
Enter into the labyrinths of the mind of adman and lyricist Prasoon Joshi, as he takes you on
a roller-coaster ride through cultural fields, creative mountains, cinematic valleys and tunnels of
ideas. Joshi’s musings, in the form of a collection of columns, are divided into four sections, each
exploring a specific theme, and all of them tied together by a common thread. They stem from
ideas he has stumbled upon whilst working on and interacting about various projects, films, forums,
literature festival discussions, and so forth. Some of them are set earlier in the decade, reflecting
a simpler context, while the later ones have a more complex weave.
Prasoon Joshi is a highly regarded socio-cultural voice of our times, deemed to have a finger on
the pulse of the people. His views on the evolving story of India reflect the sharp intellect and
sensitive perspective he layers his narrative with.
Thinking Aloud promises to ignite the readers’ mind and makes them think about things which
may have been lying dormant in their subconscious.

The book talks about art, advertising, lyrics, etc. It explores the idea of narrowing of the gap between the 'elites' and the 'aam aadmi' beautifully.

Known to possess one of the most influential voices in the country, Prasoon Joshi is an astute poet, writer, screenwriter and a communication specialist. His work has been appreciated at the global level. ‘Thinking Aloud’ is a collection of his thoughts and insights on the ‘emerging’ India. He advocates respect for Art (be it in any form) and selectively peels off the layers that guide our perspective about certain notions.
‘Thinking Aloud’ begins with a look at the nebulous cultural aspects and then the subsequent chapters explore some of the more complicated topics like art, religion and altruistic behaviour.
