| My Bollywood Wedding |
I bought the book, fully expecting that it would be a typical masala novel with wedding and colors and a traditional touch. The book was much more than I expected. It has a bit of everything. It strikes a fine balance between a typical marriage drama and the manner in which NRIs strike a balance.
Maya Malik who lives in London wants a glamorous wedding, but organizing one, is a bit complicated as her fiance lives in New York. Her would be sister-in-law pitches in and decides to take over the arrangement. Maya is not convinced as she had made her dislike for Maya very obvious. Besides, Maya is also attracted to her Fiancé’s cousin who is apparently a George-Clooney lookalike.
Jhanghir, her man, is not very good at communicating. Like all girls that are on the verge of getting married, Maya too has mixed emotions. She begins doubting her decisions. The reader in you will not be surprised that she is having second thoughts about her decision. I like the simplistic approach, the way familial influence is brought about and the very natural way in which the characters think and react.
My Bollywood Wedding is an interesting read, hilarious at times, with the integral aspect of Indian weddings and the hullabaloo that surrounds it. There is a certain Indianess that will appeal to you. Go read the book and enjoy this desi wedding trip. There are mysteries to unravel too. I highly recommend this one.
