Shabnam Asthana has a rich work experience and her job involves networking and interacting with people and companies both nationally and internationally.

During the course of her career, she has met and still keeps meeting a diverse section of people, which inspired her to recount some of her work experiences and led her to pen her debut book, "Romancing Your Career", published by Partridge India, a Penguin Company.

Asthana's experiences are easily identifiable ones that any working professional would encounter and relate with.

This book introduces readers to some of the important facets of the corporate world, with easily identifiable characters who they will laugh with, cry with, pity, despise and even get inspired by.

These are people of their nine-to-five world and an integral part of their daily interaction at the workplace.

"Your profession is a storehouse of immense learning, provided you are in a receptive mode," Asthana says.

"It provides you with ample opportunities and springboards to catapult to success. It also comes with its fair share of volatile situations, and it is for you to provide the safety switch of maturity and experience to prevent any short circuits."

'Romancing Your Career' gives readers a sense of reliving whatever is recounted inside as their own with valuable takeaways at the end of each chapter. It will inspire them to give their best to their career and jobs.
