'10062019Kandivali help avntika mam do smthng pls' Mysterious, coded text messages. A plea for help from an anonymous sender. And... nothing else. That's it. Now, let's play Da-Vinci-Code-Da-Vinci-Code. This is what Mumbai Daily reporter Avantika Pandit wants: To cover crime. To not be a feature writer. To never have to write another listicle in her life. Ever. This is what she actually has: One enraged editor. One garbage assignment (literally). And a bunch of mysterious texts that hint at deadly, hidden crimes, which she absolutely, positively shouldn't be digging into. Oh, well. Can she unearth the truth, without pissing off her boss - even more? Can she brave Dhruv Juneja's incessant flirting? Will she finally cross over to the hallowed ground of crime reporting, preferably with all her limbs intact? Or will she discover, that all it really takes to end up begging for your life, is one fatal mistake?
'So much fun!' KATIE FFORDE Ila has her pride. And she's about to discover just how much trouble that can be... It's 1976 and in the Vile Parle suburb of Mumbai, bastion of the Maharashtrian middle-class, Ila Bendre's mother is determined to get her four daughters married off as soon as possible. Ila has no intention of snaring a proposal from some dull specimen of Marathi manhood so she can pretend to care about cricket for the rest of her life. She wants a career and life of her own, and she'll do whatever it takes to escape married bliss, no matter what the neighbours might say. But when Ila's Bollywood-obsessed younger sister, Latika, takes the matter of marriage into her own hands, it looks as if the Bendre family's reputation in this close-knit community will be ruined once and for all... As we follow the Bendre sisters from dinners to parties to weddings, from Vile Parle to Pune, will love eventually conquer all in this ingeniously witty and charming tale of pride, prejudice and puran polis?
