Dr. Rajani Tewari brings parenting to the page with a rare mix of hilarity, honesty, and heart. In Ctrl+Mum: The Parent Trap You Walked Into Willingly, she takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the messy, magical, and mildly maddening world of raising kids — all while holding on to your sanity (most days). Rajani’s writing is equal parts witty observation, heartfelt confession, and poetic reflection. Each chapter is laced with laugh-out-loud moments, relatable mom-dad debates, and a dash of philosophy that sneaks up on you just when you think you’re only reading for fun. Her unique touch lies in turning everyday chaos — unfinished homework, sibling squabbles, school projects, 3 a.m. fevers — into moments of insight and connection. What sets Ctrl+Mum apart is its balance: it doesn’t glorify perfect parenting, nor does it drown in guilt. Instead, Rajani celebrates the confused, well-meaning, sleep-deprived humans behind the titles of “Mom” and “Dad.” Each chapter closes with a delightful twist — a “Dear Diary” entry from the child’s perspective — letting readers see how kids often decode parental madness with startling wisdom. As an accomplished HR leader and mother herself, Rajani writes with the voice of experience, compassion, and just enough sass to keep parents laughing even through their parenting fails. Ctrl+Mum is a must-read for anyone who’s ever bribed a child with chocolate, secretly wished bedtime came earlier, or wondered if they’re doing it all wrong — only to find that maybe, just maybe, they’re doing it just right.
