The title itself, “Joy of Missing Out,” cleverly flips the script on FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), suggesting that true fulfilment may lie in embracing the present rather than chasing endless possibilities elsewhere. This theme resonates deeply throughout the narrative, anchored by Nanki Mehta, a relatable protagonist navigating the complexities of seemingly ordinary life in South Delhi.
According to First India, Nanki’s journey is profoundly influenced by Nigam’s own experiences, including her role as the Director of Business Development at Jumpin Heights, a renowned bungee jumping collective in India. Her passion for adventure sports infuses the novel with a spirit of daring and a zest for life that mirrors her own adventurous spirit.
The novel unfolds as Nanki confronts existential questions catalysed by the pandemic’s solitude. As the familiar world crumbles around her, Nanki grapples with profound loss and the unsettling realisation that her life may lack the deeper purpose she craves. Through Nigam’s skillful storytelling, readers are invited to explore themes of belonging, identity, and the pursuit of meaningful existence.
