Shobhaa D? discusses how and why weddings succeed or fail in this charming book about society's most contentious institution. 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 recognise the warning signs in a hopeless relationship and run before it's too late are all issues that are central to most Indian marriages. This is the perfect relationship book for anyone who wants to make the adventure of marriage endure a lifetime. It is amusing, saavy, and pragmatic above all else.
