I'm reading the Hindi-Bindi Club by Monica Pradhan for the second time. It's one of the very few books that I own. Most books I get from the library on the Kindle. This is an enjoyable read. I'ts a story about kinship between women, relationships, forgiveness, love and pain. And it's more than that. It's accessible to all and you also get to learn a bit about Indian culture (it even comes with some Indian recipes!) The author writes very well and I find myself feeling that I'm in conversation with her.
Here's an excerpt:
"I'm learning, understanding that what's right for one person, in one situation, may or may not be right for another person, or another situation. These are things that seemed so important to me in my twenties, thirties, forties, fifties. Now, I look back and see so many of those things don't matter at all in the long run. It was my ego that got in the way. Ego clouds our vision. We need to pierce the veil in order to see clearly" (Pradhan, 2007, p. 189).
Pick this book up, you won't regret it!
