She looked at her watch for the sixth time and prayed silently for the eighth time. Ten minutes to call it an hour. Her mother wouldn’t go to sleep happily tonight. Her father would once again get sandwiched in a nasty debate between the two most important women in his life. But then again, such is living. In the DOTCOM MARRIAGE ERA. Welcome to the life of Ms Bengal Rani who has set out on one of the most arduous tasks of her life, which is finding a man to marry. Actually happily marry. Now, the most obvious option for her is the booming online shaadi bazaar of our country. Problem solved? Not really. In fact, it gets more twisted here on. A day dreamer, Mr Telecom Raja, with a bucket list so bizarre that can be safely named cringe worthy, or a narcissist Aeroplane Mistri who meets every girl with a pre-conceived notion that she is already smitten. These and more are specimens of the prospective bridegrooms who Bengal Rani is encountering. And with raised eyebrows realising a simple fact of life — All men are not from Mars. Some escaped Black Hole and need to be sent back to it. On urgent basis! Are these the experiences of only one woman? No, for a book like this, a lot of interesting, intelligent and slightly frustrated women need to meet…gossip…and bitch. Are these experiences 100% real? I leave that on you to decide. But then, I rarely lie. So welcome to my Tamasha — a Pandora ’s Box of extreme encounters!

What terms are currently up for debate in Indian society? How have their meanings changed over time? This book highlights key words for modern India in everyday usage as well as in scholarly contexts. Encompassing over 250 key words across a wide range of topics, including aesthetics and ceremony, gender, technology and economics, past memories and future imaginaries, these entries introduce some of the basic concepts that inform the 'cultural unconscious' of the Indian subcontinent in order to translate them into critical tools for literary, political, cultural and cognitive studies. Inspired by Raymond Williams' pioneering exploration of English culture and society through the study of keywords, Keywords for India brings together more than 200 leading sub-continental scholars to form a polyphonic collective. Their sustained engagement with an incredibly diverse set of words enables a fearless interrogation of the panoply, the multitude, the shape-shifter that is 'India'. Through its close investigation and unpacking of words, this book investigates the various intellectual possibilities on offer within the Indian subcontinent at the beginning of a fraught new millennium desperately in need of fresh vocabularies. In this sense, Keywords for India presents the world with many emancipatory memes from India.

Entrepreneur Chef Niraj (Niru) Karthik is in charge of catering for his best friend's wedding. He isn't looking forward to meeting his childhood crush-the one that got away-but he finds himself drawn to her again. Shweta has only thought of Niru as her older brother's best friend, but now she's falling head over heels in love with him. As both try to come to terms with their true feelings, they realize that a lot more than friendship is at stake. And then, there's Shweta's family, mixed up in a dilemma: an overbearing father, an over-anxious mother, and three very disparate yet close siblings. Will Shweta get the love and acceptance she yearns for?
