What do you get when you mix dreams of luxury with the harsh realities of everyday struggle? From Lathi to Lamborghini: A Common Man’s Guide to Staying Poor is a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, and painfully relatable look at why some people never make it despite doing everything “right.” In this satirical novel, we follow the life of a typical middle-class Indian man, born with hope and raised on borrowed dreams. He juggles degrees, jobs, societal pressure, and self-help books—all while watching others zoom past him in their metaphorical Lamborghinis. But no matter how hard he runs, the finish line keeps moving, the rules keep changing, and the promised “success” always stays just out of reach. Packed with biting humor, clever commentary, and haunting truths, this book is a mirror held up to the silent majority—those who wake up, show up, and still end up stuck. Perfect for fans of White Tiger, Serious Men, and Peepli Live, this novel is for readers who want more than a motivational cliché—it’s for those who crave realism wrapped in dark humor. Why Read This Book? Exposes the unspoken traps of the system Satirizes the “work hard and succeed” myth Resonates with every 9-to-5 dreamer stuck in a 10-to-10 grind Makes you laugh, wince, and maybe even question everything If you’ve ever wondered why you’re still broke despite playing by the rules, this book may not give you the answers—but it will definitely make you feel seen.
