Synopsis "THREE CHAIRS AT MY TABLE: A Father's Solo Journey"
*Three Chairs at My Table: A Father's Solo Journey*By Dr. C H AsraniAt 5 p.m. on March 13th, just hours after completing the mourning rituals for his wife, Dr. C H Asrani sat across from his three daughters at a café and made a decision that would define the next two decades: he would raise them alone — not as a struggling single parent, but as four friends bound by love, facing life together.Three Chairs at My Table is the memoir of that extraordinary journey. When his wife Sunayna was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, Dr. Asrani spent eleven months navigating chemotherapy sessions, financial strain, and the quiet devastation of watching his family's anchor slip away — all while keeping his daughters, Kavya (19), Meenu (17), and Priya (15), steady and hopeful. After Sunayna's passing, he chose not to remarry, and instead built something rare: a household run on dialogue, trust, and the radical belief that the best decisions are unanimous ones.The dining table became their parliament. Over years of evening conversations, they debated careers, curfews, and life choices as equals. Meanwhile, Dr. Asrani pioneered remote consulting in 1999 — what we now call telemedicine — and built GrowingWell.com, recognised within months as one of the world's top three child healthcare websites by Britannica.Each daughter's journey is told with tenderness: Kavya's confidence in media and advertising; Meenu's transformation from a painfully shy introvert into a tech leader at Amazon Music; Priya's tenacity through two failed CAT exams to an ISB MBA and a senior role at Meta in Singapore.Foreworded by oncologist Dr. Sachin Almel of PD Hinduja National Hospital, and with all proceeds supporting underprivileged cancer patients, this book is proof that ordinary love, applied consistently, can raise extraordinary lives.
