I'm reading The Village Bride of Beverly Hills by Kavita Daswani.
This book is beginning to remind me of the movie The Devil Wears Prada. Priya just booked a job as a receptionist at a Hollywood celebrity and gossip magazine. She has no experience in the feild whatsoever, but likes it so far. Some people have given her the cold shoulder however because of the way she dresses. Anne Hathaway plays the main role in The Devil Wears Prada and she has a rough start because she isn't as high fashion as the other women. Both Priya and Hathaway are quick learners however and are making their way up. Both of their work offices have a woman who is in charge of things and is the boss, the "dragon lady".
Priya's arranged marriage is going better and she and Sanjay talk a lot more now. It seems like such an odd concept but I have a friend who's parents are in an arranged marraige and they seem really happy together. Personnally I think it would be too weird to have to get to know a person after you marry them, but thats probably just because its a foreign concept to me. I'm sure that overtime you end up growing closer to your spouse. I also think it would be hard to not be able to choose who you are going to marry because in America, its a right, not a privelege. Something I'd really like to know is how divorces work for arranged marraiges in India. I'll look it up and maybe write about it in a later post.
