“This is our life. We get to decide the rules. We get to say what goes and what stays, what matters and what doesn’t.” ― Sandhya Menon, When Dimple Met Rishi

It’s 4 : 01 PM on day 2851 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, hang out with mom at the mall and spend time outside (in our yard – it’s such a beautiful day)

Recently I finished reading When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon – a novel about a traditional Indian-American boy, Rishi, who meets Dimple, a marriage-phobic modern Indian-American girl and their journey  – I love how the book accurately captured the dynamic of an Indian family although I feel I must point out what I feel is a factual inaccuracy no Indian families that  I know are in a rush to marry off their eighteen-year-old these days Indian parents usually wait at least until their children are finished with university before they start arranging marriages.

Thanks Julie for sending me the book it was a fun read.
