I had said that I would post a review for you. Here goes!
Warning: fairly big one!
The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.
Ben Okri
I am sure whoever is reading your story knows of the imperfection and how it rankles them. Your leaving out a lot of things to imagination is what is very good in the story. Imagination is overrated, perhaps, but it can go on an overdrive as well and that is what you do by leaving things to the mind.
"The more you leave out, the more you highlight what you leave in."
Henry Green
Your capture of the mundane things in life, of dilemmas, relationships, conflicts, work, respect, care, love and the overall life of the rich and the middle class is impressive. Particularly the Iyer detail. The detail you recall is simply too good. I cannot for the life of me remember what I ate last night without some effort! And here you are recalling minute details with such so much puntuality.
Your regular updates are very very appreciable. No mean feat for anyone who is a mom, wife and professional. I am surprised you are not a writer already, given your visual imagery.
You also hit the jackpot by selecting two families that are as different as chalk and cheese and you are indeed maintaining the conflict very well--allowing some to get resolved over time, some to just fester, some to boil, some to marinate. In all this, we as readers are simply intrigued.
Despite the largely fictional base of a punjabi marrying an iyer, the other details are very much possible, even if far fetched at times, very possible. I think for us, Iyers or Tamilians or anyone familiar with south Indian customs, the story is all the more intriguing because we know it is near impossible in real life.
For now, your story, I would say, is like curd rice and vathakozhambu, which is south Indian comfort food, with the Punjabi theekhi tadka and paneer. Bring it on! And while R&B says II, we will all say Aye Aye!
