Tharoor ji further added,'It was a privilege to have received the support of over a thousand colleagues, In February 2010, he accompanied then Indian PM Manmohan Singh to Saudi Arabia where he said "We feel that Saudi Arabia has a long and close relationship with Pakistan, that makes Saudi Arabia, even more, a valuable interlocutor for us. When we tell them about our experience, Saudi Arabia listens as somebody who is not in any way an enemy of Pakistan, but a friend of Pakistan and, therefore, will listen with sympathy and concern to a matter of this nature". Describing Good Innings to a fellow academic recently, I observed that “we” (read: “we” academics and professional critics, but also maybe “we” Americans) are not the book’s intended audience. “Then who is it for?” my friend asked.The 29-Letter Word That Shashi Tharoor Used To Announce His Book on PM".

Tharoor's Career in the United Nations started in 1978 as a staff member of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Geneva. Through a combination of personal observations, life lessons, and philosophical insights, the author chronicles her mother Lily's 'amazing, everyday' story. The end result is a collection of educational vignettes designed to inspire a new generation to grow and act. Every chapter begins with an anecdote that will spark dialogues and transform the reader's life. Good Innings is an intimate chronicle of the life of a loving matriarch with a humble upbringing and an iron will—a lady who learnt from life's lessons and now has her own to offer. Good Innings: The Extraordinary, Ordinary Life of Lily Tharoor, to be published on May 8 (Mother’s Day), is not a mere biography. In Thiruvanathapuram for a short break, the prolific author and voice artiste said, the book, is “a hybrid text, part memoir, part self-help”. It has Shobha reflecting on her mother and the many ways in which she has influenced her three children and many other people by her curiosity, her drive, and her can-do spirit.

Shobha asserts that when she writes for children, she wants to ensure that there is a learning component in the book as well. “For instance, the picture book on Raja Ravi Varma that was published in 2021 is more than just a short biography of the artist. The story is framed from the perspective of a young narrator and there are two narrative threads in the book. Children read about Raja Ravi Varma and are introduced to his masterpieces. They also have an opportunity to question their own artistic style, aspirations and view of the world.” Ray, Mohit K., ed. (1 September 2007). The Atlantic Companion to Literature in English.
