India is shining, and Suresh Kaushal, stout lawyer of sober habits, has propelled himself up the political ladder to become Minister of State for Food Processing, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Canneries. His wife Priya can’t believe their luck. Determined to ensure it doesn’t run out, she struggles valiantly with ‘social vertigo’, infidelity and menopause. Along the way she also learns vital lessons of survival, as she watches her glamorous new friend Pooonam chase status, sex and Jimmy Choo shoes, and her radical old friend Lenin ride a donkey and lose his bearings. In this wickedly funny and occasionally tender book, Namita Gokhale resurrects some unforgettable characters from her 1984 cult bestseller Paro, and plunges them neck deep into Delhi’s toxic waste of power, money and greed.
