"Being vulnerable doesn't mean you're weak. It means you trust yourself to be strong enough to handle the hurt. It's actually the purest form of strength."

Mother Pious Lady: Making Sense of Every India by Santosh Desai

From keeping new china for special occasions to finding multiple uses for newspapers over just their reading pleasure, the Indian middle class families  are explored deeply by the author.
While the beginning was amazing, for me, the book fell flat towards the end, but that could be very well because it is a 14-year-old book (2010 was 14 years ago?!) and that can be seen from the articles
While there were things I agreed with and things I definitely did not, this book was worth a read!

What did I just read? 
Not only did I not like the writing but the characters weren't all that great either.
I, obviously, didn't like Manoj and Trisha but Subbu wasn't all that great, either.
Nidhi and Aniket had 0 chemistry and that lovey-dovey ending? Where did that come from?

"From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often. People spoke of love so casually, just to mean the slightest pleasure or thanks."
