It is the 1970's and Manjula Padmanabhan is in her mid-twenties, trying to find her way in the world. Life in Bombay is proving tricky: there are the visits to Dr. Prasad's diet clinic and his photographs of gloomy nudes, lunch at her brother's house where the dog is eating all the snacks, and there are the intriguing Dutch visitors. Padmanabhan's brilliantly funny memoir will touch anyone who has ever wondered where and when they might begin to fit in.
