Shame Wears My Name is not one of them. It’s a book that has found its way from the most secure places in the country to open reading circles where people share stories and ideas.
One moment that says it all: Shri S.K. Shukla, 2nd in Command, Shree Ram Mandir Janmbhoomi, CRPF, holding a copy of the book. No big setup, no fancy shoot, just a man who protects history taking a quiet moment with a story about silence, strength, and the human heart. It’s proof that stories can connect people from all walks of life.
Soon after, the book appeared in reading sessions with working professionals and book lovers. People didn’t just read it, they discussed it, underlined lines, and shared how it made them feel. Photos from these gatherings show smiles, thinking faces, and pages filled with notes, signs that this is a book people truly engage with.
The story takes you into the world of someone dealing with quiet struggles and the wish to be noticed. It’s not full of big twists or loud drama. Instead, it captures small, real moments – a glance, a pause, a simple sentence – that say more than a long speech ever could.
The author, Anurag Mishra, pours his own life into every page. From days in high-pressure corporate offices to running his family business in the narrow streets of Old Delhi, his experiences give the book a real, relatable voice. He doesn’t sugarcoat or dress things up; he writes them as they are, raw and honest.
