The Almighty has been watching humanity for millennia.
He has seen wars, wellness trends, doomscrolling, and hustle culture.
He has decided to consult someone with actual experience.
Everything you've thrown out — every broken intention, every discarded plan, every expired resolution — is evidence. Here are six things humanity threw away this week.
"I opened a meditation app at 11:47 PM because a productivity newsletter said mindfulness improves output metrics by 34%."
Exhibit A"I asked AI to write an apology to my mother because I couldn't find the right words myself, then sent it without reading it."
Filed: Irony"I paid ₹40,000 for a 3-day 'digital detox retreat' and checked my phone in the bathroom seventeen times."
Classic"I bought a leather-bound planner with Sanskrit quotes on the cover. I used it to write down one task. Then lost it."
Recurring"I doomscrolled global conflict coverage for 90 minutes, then purchased a premium subscription to a dopamine-detox newsletter."
God Wept"I told myself 'next Monday I'll start' for eleven consecutive Mondays and ordered a new journal on the twelfth."

God and the Dustbin by Nandini A. Iyengar is one of the most distinctive works of literary satire to emerge from contemporary Indian fiction. It belongs to a rare genre — intelligent comic literature that uses absurdity not as escape from the world, but as the sharpest possible lens trained upon it.
The premise is simple and devastating: if the Almighty wanted an honest report on the state of human civilization, the most credible witness would not be a prophet or a politician. It would be the Dustbin — the silent archivist of everything humanity has tried and discarded. Together, they examine artificial intelligence and cognitive laziness, post-Covid psychological collapse, hustle culture's glorification of burnout, social media performance over authentic connection, spiritual commercialisation, consumer identity, global conflict, and the peculiar persistence of human hope against all available evidence.
This book is satirical fiction, philosophical humour, absurdist comedy, social commentary, and existential reflection — simultaneously. It is sharp without being cynical, funny without being trivial, and profound without being heavy. A genuinely rare combination.
The years since 2020 have produced a distinctive human condition: unprecedented tools, unprecedented noise, unprecedented connection, unprecedented loneliness. God and the Dustbin is the literary response — not a manifesto or self-help guide, but a series of conversations that hold up a mirror to all of it, with laughter as the primary instrument of truth.
This is a book for anyone who has ever felt that modern life is simultaneously brilliant and absurd, connected and hollow, ambitious and exhausted. For readers of intelligent satire, philosophical humour, and social commentary who want to laugh and think at the same time — a combination rarer than it should be.
Funny. Sharp. Disturbingly relatable. A literary mirror held up to our chaotic times. Available now in Kindle, Paperback, and Hardcover.
