Well-Behaved Indian Women


Book Description

“A sparkling debut.”—Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author From a compelling new voice in women's fiction comes a mother-daughter story about three generations of women who struggle to define themselves as they pursue their dreams. Simran Mehta has always felt harshly judged by her mother, Nandini, especially when it comes to her little "writing hobby." But when a charismatic and highly respected journalist careens into Simran's life, she begins to question not only her future as a psychologist, but her engagement to her high school sweetheart. Nandini Mehta has strived to create an easy life for her children in America. From dealing with her husband's demanding family to the casual racism of her patients, everything Nandini has endured has been for her children's sake. It isn’t until an old colleague makes her a life-changing offer that Nandini realizes she's spent so much time focusing on being the Perfect Indian Woman, she’s let herself slip away. Mimi Kadakia failed her daughter, Nandini, in ways she'll never be able to fix­—or forget. But with her granddaughter, she has the chance to be supportive and offer help when it's needed. As life begins to pull Nandini and Simran apart, Mimi is determined to be the bridge that keeps them connected, even as she carries her own secret burden.




An Indian Housewife


Book Description

In the vast tapestry of Indian society, one cannot overlook the integral role played by the Indian housewife. She is the backbone of the household, the nurturer of traditions, and the guardian of family values. Her contributions, often overlooked or taken for granted, are invaluable and deserve recognition. This preface aims to shed light on the multifaceted life of an Indian housewife, exploring her roles, challenges, and the immense strength she possesses. It seeks to celebrate her resilience, adaptability, and unwavering dedication to her family. Indian housewives have been the silent force behind the success of countless families throughout history. They have managed households with grace, ensuring the well-being of their loved ones. From waking up before dawn to prepare meals, to meticulously maintaining the cleanliness and orderliness of the home, their efforts are tireless and selfless. However, the Indian housewife’s role extends far beyond domestic chores. She is the emotional anchor of the family, providing unwavering support, love, and care to her spouse, children, and extended family members. Her ability to balance multiple responsibilities, often without any recognition or appreciation, is a testament to her strength and determination. Yet, the Indian housewife’s journey is not without its challenges. Society often underestimates her capabilities, confining her within the walls of her home. Her dreams and aspirations are often sacrificed for the sake of her family’s well-being. Despite these obstacles, she continues to persevere, finding fulfillment in the happiness and success of her loved ones. This preface also aims to dispel the notion that the Indian housewife’s role is limited to the domestic sphere. Many housewives have defied societal expectations, pursuing their passions and contributing to society in various ways. They have become entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and activists, breaking barriers and inspiring others along the way. Through this preface, we hope to honor the Indian housewife’s unwavering commitment, resilience, and unwavering spirit. We aim to acknowledge her as a vital force in shaping Indian society and recognize her as an individual with dreams, aspirations, and the potential to make a difference. It is our hope that this exploration of the Indian housewife’s life will serve as a tribute to her indomitable spirit and inspire a deeper appreciation for her invaluable contributions. May her story resonate with readers and encourage a greater understanding and recognition of the extraordinary strength and resilience of Indian housewives.
