Bloomsbury to Publish Knotty Affairs by Chirag Bagadia
We Indians, dipped in the rich traditional culture, have the penchant to enjoy even the smallest of the customs involved in lavish marriage celebrations. The very thought of our best friend getting married is enough to get us excited for the marriage functions.
Out of the many traditions celebrated, one of them involves an Indian bride leaving her parents’ home and moving in with her husband and inlaws.
For an Indian guy, there always is a choice- whether he has to stay with his parents or stay separately.
Unfortunately, for an Indian girl, it is never a matter of choice..even if a girl loves her parents dearly, she is rooted out of her parents’ lovenest and placed in a complete stranger world.
