How 'Lage Raho Munnabhai' inspired a positive change

The Mumbai-set story, about two mismatched individuals forming a deep connection, is due to be published next Thursday (27).

With her second novel already on the way later this year, it begins an exciting journey for a new literary voice.

Eastern Eye caught up with the Bangalore-based author to discuss her debut, its relatability, her inspirations, and what makes a great story.

What first connected you to writing?

One of my earliest childhood memories is listening to my mother’s bedtime stories and being enthralled by the power of storytelling. I’ve always wanted to make someone feel the way I do when I read a book – empowered, curious, hopeful. That’s my origin story.

What inspired your debut novel?

My debut novel Match Me If You Can is inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma. I first read Emma years ago and found the meddling and matchmaking vibes very relatable – after all, every twenty-something Indian has experienced their family trying to arrange a marriage instead of encouraging an organic love match. I have wanted to write a desi, modern-day adaptation of Emma ever since.

Tell us about the story.

Match Me If You Can follows Jia, a young magazine writer in Mumbai, who must prove her matchmaking skills to get her new relationship column approved. Standing in her way is her childhood friend Jaiman, a pub owner and mixologist, who constantly clashes with Jia over her meddlesome ways. It’s a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance in the vein of Emma, You’ve Got Mail, and When Harry Met Sally.

Are any of the characters or situations based on real life?

The characters and overall plot are rooted in Emma, but I’ve added my own twists and taken creative liberties where possible. However, I don’t base anything on my own life – my imagination is far more interesting!

Who are you hoping connects with this story?

I would love for romance readers across cultures and countries to co

A mid-week posting!

I wouldn’t have forgiven myself if I had missed this important exhibition about an interesting subject, the “underexposed and undocumented photobooks by women made between 1843 and 1999.”

So I thought I would squeeze it into the posting schedule which stretches a couple of months into the future…

Other than the group photographs of the book covers and installation photographs of the exhibition (below), there were no individual book covers nor details about some of the books in the media images, so I have added a few were it has been possible along with accompanying text.

I have also included photographs from what I think is one of the most iconic photobooks, even though I am not sure it is in the exhibition: Marion Palfi’s There is No More Time: An American Tragedy (1949).

So many important photobooks by so many glorious photographers.
