Nerdy kid walks into the suburbs…
First Edition’s Limited Release.
Available now!
Nice to meet you and welcome to my dream: creating a physical book of short stories.

He’s not as lame as he used to be in middle school…
Still lame though.
My Dad, May 2020
About Me:
I’m a lawyer + comedian who had the surreal experience of growing up Indian in Edison, New Jersey.
It’s a suburb not easily explained, but being raised:
- By my exact set of parents
- In that specific town
- In the 90s …
, explains everything about who I am today.
Your book will be entirely self-published. What does that mean?
1. All stories will be written and edited by CheeseDosa.
Easy enough?
2. All the artwork will be created by CheeseDosa.
Boring Plots!!!
Available Now
Look, if we’re being honest about the suburbs, the plots can be quite boring.
But this book looks back on those days. It examines the (mostly) mundane through an adult lens, a comedic lens.
Professional high-quality illustrations and carefully selected binding materials ensure a book you can proudly display after reading.
My Wish
While I hope you enjoy the final book, you know what would be a bigger honor?
If you see some of yourself in these tales.
And hopefully someday we meet to talk about it over a meal.
Should that day come, might I suggest what’s on the menu?
The ingredients will be something quite American + something quite Indian too.
