You gotta buy this book people. Period!

It is called as “Almost Single” written by Advaita Kala. The book is a brilliant piece of work, which is both insightful and also has the stuff in it that sparks uncontrollable laughter. I haven’t enjoyed a book as much since I don’t know when. I have even lent it to my best friend with great parting difficulty.

We are living in a time when the world considers every book written by a smart urban woman as a chiclit piece. If the book has the power to connect with every woman universally by boosting her spirit by saying “Hang in there girl. You are not alone”, then what the hell, why not? Let it be called chiclit. Someone once wisely said that a rose by any other name would still smell sweet. So there you are Advaita!

I am recommending this ‘chiclit’ most importantly to all the men if at all you have ever wondered what we the women think and what we talk behind yours backs over the phone and in the restrooms. (fyi, among the million things we speak, the topic ‘men’ is one of them. So don’t get carried away here.) I had even confessed to Advaita that I cant stop talking about her book.

This write up would not be complete without me inserting the actual excerpts from the book itself.

“My name is Aisha Bhatia, I am twenty-nine years old and single. I work as a Guest Relations Manager at the Grand Orchid Hotel. I dine at luxury hotels and stay in five-stars during my travels; I can name old and new world wines with great élan, and can tell my cheeses apart.I tolerate my job, hate my boss, and bond big-time with my friends, while routinely suffering from umbilical cord whiplash. I don’t really care for my vital stats at the moment, and I don’t have a cute/funny nickname either. Hence this introduction: it stinks, but it sticks. In fact, sometimes I think there should be support groups like the AA out there for people like me…’

Wickedly irreverent and laugh-aloud funny, Almost Single is a delightful romp through the five-star world of champagne brunches, gay soirées, and the dilemmas of hip, young girls on the lookout for love and matrimony.”
