Right Fit Wrong Shoe!

The story unfolds in more-than-just-a-third-world-country's city Kanpur. Nandini has been bitten, for better or worse, but definitely bitten, by Bollywood. Her spirit is undefeatable; she mocks certain death (Aditya) and suffers stoically for love (Aditya, again. Go Figure!) Her accomplice in all her escapades is Sneha Verma. That one friend who knows us better than we do and the one we trust more than Stayfree or Clearasil.

Right Fit Wrong Shoe, begins at a point where all love stories end, and because of the nuances characters and dialogue, ends up being much more than just an amorous tale. The book observes and opinionates the society, affected and amused. It fleetingly touches on issues; fleeting as watching discourses (courtesy Astha Channel) is trendier than reading them. The book also, extends a unique ode to the Indian Film Industry.

The book is a genuine effort, on my part, to provide the milieu of Indian, young and old, with a humorous read, just for them, without overlooking the intelligence and thinking quotient of our personalities. Right Fit Wrong Shoe, is now available, in local bookstores and online book websites.

I shall end this email with one of the many 'prize winning pun word/dialogue' (I'm quoting my editor at Rupa Publishers), from my book. Thank you.

Excerpt 1: "Nandini knew his aversion to her was temporary. Just as a fish can't live out of water, a shopaholic without credit cards, Rochak could not stay away from women. The wiring of his head was messed up; it was only dic-connected."

Excerpt 2: Flashing neon signs of various international brands, plastered on old crumbling buildings, loudly proclaimed global commercialization. For just about everything else the populace stands divided, from where we pray to the water we use, yet as consumers, all are one-empty brains with loaded wallets! Nandini, a novice cynic, mused.

All the best . . .till later!
