“Sex and the City Delhi-style.”—Time Out New York

After years of frustration in the New York singles scene, with constant pressure from her Indian parents to find a mate, Anita Jain begins to wonder if an arranged marriage could possibly be any worse than looking for a man in a bar. So she boards a plane for Delhi and lands smack in the center of the New India, where she finds a very Westernized lifestyle of bar- and bed-hopping, not at all dissimilar from New York, but with the added complication of traditional attitudes toward women and marriage.
