An einem heißen, regnerischen Tag in Bombay lernt Nisha Gott kennen. Zunächst ist die schüchterne, mehr an ihren Büchern als an Männern interessierte Studentin eher abgestoßen von dem bärtigen Weiberhelden und Großmaul, aber bald kann sie nicht widerstehen und wird zu seiner Geliebten. Die beiden machen Karriere in der schrillen Glitzerwelt der Reklame, der Pseudokunst und des Boulevard-Journalismus. Aber das böse Ende lässt nicht auf sich warten.

The unrivalled number one of Bombay, Aasha Rani was intent on running her career and her life. Now she is blinded by a passion that threatens to destroy everything she achieved.

How marriages work and why they fail ... Marriage is an adventure, says Shobhaa D, celebrity writer, devoted wife and mother of six. It's about trust, companionship, affection and sharing. It's also about learning to cope with your partner's moods and eccentricities. Not to mention the delicate balancing act between parents, children, friends and a career, and the sometimes overpowering need to get away from it all.In this delightful book on society's most debated institution, Shobhaa D writes about how and why marriages work-or don't. With her usual disregard for rules, she reinvents tradition and challenges old stereotypes, addressing all the issues that are central to most Indian the saas-bahu conundrum (how to escape the role-trap and enjoy each other), the need for honesty (aren't some secrets better left secret), the importance of romance (no, expressions of love are not unmanly!), and not any less important, how to recognize the warning signs in a hopeless relationship and run before it's too late.Fun, savvy and, above all, pragmatic, this is the ultimate relationship book for all those who want to make the adventure of marriage last a lifetime.
