    Aparna is the most relatable comedian working today, hands down.

    Aparna is one of my favorite comedians. I listen to her album when I’m going through rough times, and it is nice to be reminded that at some point I will not only feel better I might even be able to laugh at the absurdity of everything.

    What a perfect coincidence! I’ve always “written” and have always been plagued by self-doubt. Recently, I started a small retirement business teaching golf, and so on FB, I write “articles” about golf which I hope are at least mildly amusing. Unlike Ms Aparna though, nobody reads them.

    Wait until she finds out that Flo-Rida’s name is just Florida with a hyphen.

    “self-doubt”….. who is the ‘self’ doubting? Doubting oneself is consistently thought of as a singularly ‘human’ trait.

    Cool woman, I love what she says and how she says it. I am currently dwarfed by my scary reading pile, but I hope to read her book one day. It will never not be relevant 😊
