Ancient Promises - by Jaishree
Misra
Ancient Promises is a fascinating read capturing the essence
of its protagonist's struggle to achieve fulfillment while
moving through the ordinary and often narrow alleys of Indian
life, from an arranged marriage to a marital strife, culminating
in a fairytale fashion with the finding of true love. Written
from a woman's point of view - the book seems to be semi
autobiographical. The author uses simple language but the
result is a beautifully flowing prose - neither too heavy
nor light. The book is heart warming because most of us
can identify with Janaki, the heroine, as she grows from
an awkward teenager to a self-assured adult who knows what
she wants. The plot does tend to get a little heavy and
melodramatic at point but that is only to be expected from
a first novel.

Food
Court, Crossroads, Mumbai
The concept of a food court is an intrinsic part of all
malls abroad. Now you have one in Mumbai, India. Half a
dozen stalls have been put of different cuisines - ranging
from pizza to Mexican and Chinese food. All you need to
do is pay a lump sum at the main counter and with the card
they give you, you can pay at the various stalls with no
hassle of giving money and collecting change from each stall.
There is also a neat sitting area where you can enjoy the
food in peace. It is particularly good for children as they
can run around in the adjoining courtyard. The Corn on the
Cob and Chaat is highly recommended. Ideal place to put
your tired feet up after hours of shopping!
