The Lulu Duologues – Insightful conversations with Lulu, my parrot.

– Lulu has brought alive many dilemmas and questions that have resided in my mind from time to time! Wit and wisdom in a pithy form is a rarity. That’s exactly what Lulu delivered every time before flying away. – Kavi Arasu, Facilitator and Talent & Organizational Change specialist

– They are called “”nut- crackers””, but Lulu himself is a hard nut to crack! All- seeing, omniscient, with a wise and witty opinion on all that he sees, Lulu is tough competition to even the wisest owl. It is pleasure to flit through his world of contemporary happenings. – Ms. Anjali Kanitkar, Founder Trustee Aroehan, Former Director Social Audit, Govt of Maharashtra

– The alter-ego is a fascinating phenomenon. Vivek Patwardhan has a muse in Lulu. To animate the character of a parrot with wit, wisdom and learning makes for a conversationalist. One with the most pertinent curiosity in the moment. The weave of justice, tragedy and paradox of everyday living in India is this collection’s high point. Reminds us of George Menezes’ ‘Your middle is showing’ columns from the pre-internet era. – Dr Joseph George, Leadership & OD Facilitator

– The art of storytelling, with spice, punch and the persona of Lulu is what hooks all of us to the Vivek’s blogs. The reader enjoys the dialogues that fly back and forth between Author’s insights and Lulu’s sharp repartee. – Sujata Deshmukh, CEO, Tutul Consulting
