About the Book
"A Match Made in Mumbai" is less a timeless classic and more a classic for the time it portrays: turn-of-the-century Mumbai around 2000. Cellphones are new, common sense is getting old! It tells a story of two guys, three girls, and their parents. The young people are all happy in their own way, but their Indian parents don't want them to be happy- they want them married. The shenanigans and craziness that erupt in this mismatching will make Wodehouse's Blandings Castle look bland! It's a reach, but if Wodehouse were to live in Mumbai, and he wasn't banned for calling it Bombay, he could have written this book. Absolute madness, stylishly portrayed though witty dialogue and one liners like 'fast trains run faster than slow trains' that are destined to become memes, with the Mumbai of the past always lurking in the background, reminding many of us of the time of our ill-spent youth. A simple nostalgic look into yester years that is clean, fun, and offensive only to those who don't like to laugh.
