Bringing a copy of #bendingoverbackwards to the Castle of @civitellaranieri where I finished writing #mappillaithebook a few years ago. Happy to show the musicians, artists and writers residence to @tishanidoshi and @teeeoeoeo who loved the meandering hallways and tower view of the Umbrian countryside. Planning to come back soon to these inspiring landscapes and walls. @harpercollinsin (at Civitella Ranieri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CClmRsApIDi/?igshid=6u8ny89zv8mm

Bending over Backwards is now on the syllabus for the Memoir and Ethnography class at New York University Abu Dhabi. It's been stimulating to be a guest lecturer in the class this semester and also to lecture about Connecting Asia, conduct a panel discussion on women in Science, contribute to the literary magazine Electra Street and be a part of this campus. Looking forward to more of this in the future! @nyuabudhabi @electrastreet @nyu @harpercollinsin #bendingoverbackwards https://www.instagram.com/p/CBHvm9TJbF_/?igshid=1xrk7u9amweuu

@neethuchandra_ • • • • • • What an amazing evening it was, with @carlopizzati being the lit factor of the evening at the lovely @champacabooks in Bengaluru. The book launch of 'Bending over Backwards' authored by Carlo Pizzati, followed by a humorous discussion about his chronicles towards finding a cure for a chronic backpain was entertaining and intriguing. Can we be a skeptic yet spiritual, have a broad scientific rationale yet be open to experiences and approach life situations with a simple 'I don't know!' as a phrase to begin with, can we be all of it?. Is there a mystical dimension as to why things are the way it is in our earth bound lives? In many ways it resonated with my own quest towards finding a cure for a persistent back pain, manifesting as several other things. It also struck chords with my spiritual meanderings towards understanding the vagaries of life. Does he find a cure? Aah! I need to read the book to know more about it. So a book review is for another day... ~ ~ Btw I was happy to receive a signed copy & exchange a few words with the author. ~ ~ #carlopizzati #bendingoverbackwards #books #bookstagram #spiritual #skeptic #booklaunch #booklover #backpain #travelogue #bookstoresaremyhappyplace #readingtime #booksmakemehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/B8YjTylFuwJ/?igshid=kfm5fb94q112

What a warm welcome in the chilly Delhi night. A wonderful conversation with Dr. Ambarish Satwik @asatwik and an engaged question time in a room filled to capacity, or almost, at the Italian Cultural Institute. It was great to have this last stop in the capital, for the India Tour 2020 of Bending over Backwards! Thank you @harpercollinsin and @iicnewdelhi for the support but mostly thanks to all the readers who came to hear the reading! #bendingoverbackwards #bookblogger #booksofinstagram #booktour #bookrelease #booklovers (at Istituto Italiano di Cultura New Delhi) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Ric1YlKOq/?igshid=1l7f6psmyvbz9
