New Delhi: Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia will debut as an author with a new book that documents his experiences of "transforming the public education system in Delhi as its education minister", publishers Penguin Random House (PRH) India announced on Monday.

"Shiksha: A Journey", which is expected to hit the stands in September this year, beside recounting the journey of "raising the bar of public education in the state" will also see the minister talking about the challenges he overcame to improve the infrastructure and quality of schooling.

"The transformation of each public school in Delhi is a story in itself. Each and every person who contributed into making this transformation possible is a protagonist. I had an ideal, a vision and an idea but seeing it all come true has been a dream and this book is only a milestone in my journey to reformation.

"I am hoping my book is able to inspire people to work towards making welfare state a reality," the minister said.

Sisodia's significant contribution to reforming the education system in Delhi has gained him the reputation of one of the best education administrators in the country. He was also awarded the "finest education minister of the country" by former president Pranab Mukherjee recently.

Touted to be as a "book of hope", according to the publishing house, it will interest a wide spectrum of readers, including those exploring ideas of a welfare state in the present and the future.

"'Shiksha: A Journey' will be a powerful debut where Manish Sisodia not only describes the process through which Delhi's underachieving public education system was transformed into being one of the best in India," said Ranjana Sengupta, deputy publisher, PRH, India.

Peppered with anecdotes, the book also narrates the story of "innovative approach, determination, ups and downs" behind the change in Delhi's education system, she added.

Another user questioned the timing, asking, “How can all book at the same time?” while a separate post wondered, “Why is everyone booking LPG at 11:45 AM?”

Many netizens joked about the posts. One wrote, “Everyone is booking LPG gas cylinders at 11:45 AM, and surprisingly it’s getting delivered in two hours. IT cell has some special gas agency. Is it LPG or Naale ka Gas?” 

One urged, “Please tell these hundreds of people to book at 11:45 AM too,” sharing a photo of people standing in ques.

“Booked an Indane Gas LPG cylinder at 11:46 AM today and it wasnt delivered at my doorstep by 2:30 PM. I asked the delivery guy, why didn't he deliver. He replied cylinders were delivered only to people who booked exactly at 11:45 AM,” wrote another. 

 

One user asked, “What was the auspicious occasion to book at 11:45 AM?” while another tweeted, “I am going to book a gas cylinder at 11:45 AM tomorrow, hope Modi Ji will deliver it by 1:30.”

“I want to ask one thing… If I book an LPG cylinder tomorrow at 11:45 AM and the gas agency is unable to deliver it by 1:30 PM, will it be free like Domino’s pizza, or will I get it at some discounted price? BJP IT Cell experts, please confirm so that I can book my LPG cylinder tomorrow exactly at 11:45 AM,” said another humorously.
