QUOTE 145

"Both Caleb and I were coming off an emotional time in our lives. He too had just had a falling-out with a girl he loved, and we bonded over our similar breakups. Also, we were on college in Portland, Oregon, which makes us legally obliged to sing weepy melancholy songs that can be best described as emo. Emo is basically short for <<emotional rock>>. We had the emotional part down."

QUOTE 144

"Sometimes people ask me, <<Why are you writing a memoir? You're only thirty-four.>>
This is not a memoir. I'm not a president, or an astronaut, or a Kardashian.
This is a collection of stories from my live."

"Lo que todos los amantes de BBT necesitamos, más Big Bang Theory"

Of all the charming misfits on television, there’s no doubt Raj from The Big Bang Theory—the sincere yet incurably geeky Indian-American astrophysicist—ranks among the misfittingest. Now, we meet the actor who is every bit as loveable as the character he plays on TV. In this revealing collection of essays written in his irreverent, hilarious, and self-deprecating voice, Kunal Nayyar traces his journey from a 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 the sport of badminton, to the confident, successful actor on the set of TV’s most-watched sitcom since Friends.

Yes, My Accent Is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You by Kunal Nayyar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Lo que más me gusta de leer biografías/autobiografías de actores/cantantes/... es que cambian completamente la perspectiva que tienes sobre ellos. Después de leerlo ya no ves solo a un personaje, ves a toda una gran cantidad de cosas que han tenido que pasar para que esa persona aparezca un día cualquiera en tu pantalla.

Este es el libro que todo fan de Big Bang Theory necesita, incluso yo que no contaba con él (siendo una gran aficionada-fan de la serie) he acabado enamorandome completamente. Todo él es adictivo.
Ya no veo solo a Raj el chico tímido que no puede (o no podía) hablar con las mujeres, veo todos los obstaculos y decisiones que Kunal ha tenido que esquivar y sobrellevar para estar en mi pantalla semana tras semana.

Lo que me gana en esta historia no son esos toques de humor que tanto dicen haber vendido, sino el gran mensaje de amor, cultura, honestiad, aceptación y autosuperación que envuelven el libro en perfecta armonía.
