"Kunal Nayyar, best known as Raj on comedy TV series The Big Bang Theory. Of all the charming misfits on television, there's no doubt Raj -- the sincere yet incurably geeky Indian-American astrophysicist -- ranks among the misfittingest. In this revealing collection of essays written in his self-deprecating voice, Kunal Nayyar, born to a Punjabi family in London and brought up in India, traces his journey from that little boy in New Delhi who mistakes an awkward first kiss for a sacred commitment, gets nosebleeds chugging Coca-Cola to impress other students, and excels in badminton, to the successful actor on the most-watched sitcom since Friends. Kunal introduces readers to the people who helped him grow, such as his father who taught him the most important lessons: Treat a beggar as you would a king. There are two sides to every story. A smile goes a long way. And, when in doubt, use a spreadsheet. Kunal also walks us through his college years, his first sips of alcohol, his first job for the university’s housekeeping department, and a series of romantic exploits that go just about as well as they would for Raj"--Provided by publisher.

American wit and humor.
