''That night, I''d survived my life flashing before me, with my dignity intact. Yes, this chaotic life has always been a gamble.... But what a gamble.''Paul Sinha is an award-winning comedian, a quizzing mastermind and a happily-married husband. But for much of his life none of these seemed remotely imaginable.As a boy, Paul struggled to find his place in a world where he didn''t quite fit. Who was he? An over-achieving schoolkid with the world''s knowledge at his fingertips? A traditional Bengali son, destined for a career in medicine that he never once craved. A young gay man yearning to breathe freely? Or was he yet another flawed human being on a self-destruct mission?Amid life''s mayhem, it was frequently Paul''s love of facts in which he found solace, whether funding his lifestyle through quiz machines or simply trying to show off to his mates. Stumbling serendipitously into both a career in stand-up and the clandestine network of competitive quizzers introduced him to a new sense of purpose, a new identity, and, eventually, new love...A hilarious and moving coming-of-age memoir of one man''s search for fulfilment, One Sinha Lifetime is an unconventional odyssey through love, family, and the joy of general knowledge.
