About the author
Vivek is an engineer by degree, but a thinker by nature.
Born and raised in India, Vivek has spent years observing the small things — the way people behave in traffic, the way strangers treat each other in public, the way a single act of carelessness can ruin a shared space for hundreds of people. And slowly, those observations turned into questions. And those questions turned into this book.
He is not a politician. He is not a philosopher. He is just someone who got stuck in one too many unnecessary traffic jams, watched one too many wrappers land on a clean street, and decided — enough. Someone needs to say this out loud.
