Modern India and its people spilling over its borders into
contemporary life in America form the backdrop of these stories.
As the characters are jostled between the pull of both cultures, their
experiences uncover the myriad contradictions and commonalities
deeply embedded in looking at things with an Indian eye while
adapting to western mores and thought.
Bend it like Bhaskar - Fans of Bend it like Beckham and The
Monsoon Wedding will revel in Bhaskar's wit, finesse, and empathy -
David Lee Rubin, The Virginia Quarterly Review
Anything but modest feat - Bhaskar develops her characters with a
delicate touch - Stephanie Bedford, The Capital Times
Range of emotions - Stories that give you a brief glimpse of the place
it is set in and the people it talks about. Interesting tales that make for
light reading. - Nimi Kurian, The Hindu
Shades of RK Narayan? Perhaps, but enchantingly original -
Randeep Wadehra, The Tribune
Pleasant feel good stories, the kind you should carry with you for a
journey - Sushila Ravindranath, Indian Express
