Book description
India is shining, and Suresh Kaushal, the stout lawyer -of sober
habits', has propelled himself up the political ladder to become
Minister of State for Food Processing, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and
Canneries. His wife Priya can't believe their luck and, determined to
ensure it doesn't run out, struggles valiantly with -social vertigo',
infidelity and menopause. Along the way she also learns vital lessons on
survival, as she watches her glamorous new friend Pooonam chase status,
sex and Jimmy Choo shoes, and her radical old friend Lenin ride a donkey
and lose his bearings. In this wickedly funny, occasionally tender,
book, Namita Gokhale resurrects some unforgettable characters from her
1984 cult bestseller Paro, and plunges them neck-deep into Delhi's toxic
waste of power, money and greed.
