Madhurima Pandey is twenty-five, single and gradually coming to terms with
the annoying 'you're next' nudges from family and friends. But soon they realize
that chances of finding a groom for her are slim-mainly because she's not. At 93
kilos, she knows she isn't the ideal weight for marriage, even if her family
believes she's the ideal age.
Despite her reservations, the hunt begins and so does a spree of rejections until
Harsh comes along. Madhu cannot believe that a boy with no obvious flaws
has agreed to marry her. Low self-esteem makes her suspect he's either
impotent or a homosexual, but she doesn't turn down the proposal immediately.
A negligible period of courtship and a hurried engagement follow. But does
Madhurima really find her happily-ever-after? Or are there more surprises in
store?
Jovial, witty and unapologetically honest, Madhurima Pandey's story of struggle
and survival in the run-up to her D-Day gives you a refreshingly new take on the
big fat Indian wedding.
