Love, Marriage, and Other Disasters by Shilpa Suraj
10th to 30th April
She believes in love, family and…squiggles!
Alisha Rana is not your typical single desi girl. For one, she is on the wrong side of 30. For another, she is divorced. And last but definitely not least, she is still, gasp, a virgin!Alisha doesn’t want much. But what she does want is that elusive thing all women search for – A man who gets her…but a man who gets her hot! She calls it “feeling the squiggle.”
Enter Dr. Vivaan Kapoor, cute, hot, squiggle-worthy. The younger brother of her cousin's prospective groom, he’s got the squiggle factor in spades. The only catch? He's never been married and is years younger than Alisha. Basically, completely off-limits.
And then there is Arjun. Widowed, older than her by the right number of years and a genuinely nice guy. He's Vivaan’s cousin and a so-called perfect match for Alisha. The problem is, Alisha’s squiggle-o-meter refuses to budge for him.
What will Alisha choose? A lifetime together with the 'right' man or a chance at happiness with the 'wrong' one?

Guest Post - Choices
Choices. They can either redeem you or ruin you. For Alisha, who has two incredible men to choose between, it should be an easy choice and yet, the wrong one would destroy three lives. Having built a life from the wreckage of an abusive relationship, could she trust her emotions again? Or more importantly, could she trust her judgement?
How do you know if your instincts are correct or if you are over analyzing something? How do you know which way lies happiness and which way grief?
Wouldn’t it be lovely if we had a crystal ball which showed us exactly the right path to take? The right decision to make?
But we don’t. And so, we like millions around us, have to learn to rely on ourselves and our rather flawed decision making. I, personally, tend to make lists. Long, exhaustive lists of pros and cons before trying to figure out what I should do with any decision, personal or professional. And still, I go wrong a lot of the time. This leads me to wonder if maybe the emotional way is better than my own practical one.
But, several of my friends who choose from their heart also find themselves regretting their decisions. So, where does that leave us? With a toss of a coin? Or a roll of the dice? Is luck all that stands between us and happiness? Destiny, fate, fortune…there are many names you could give it but they all amount to the same.
Choices. They have the power to define us, to destroy us and if we’re very lucky, to deem us worthy of happiness.
