They were like pakoras - hot & spicy and we , the hungry hostelers shared and gobbled them down whenever we got them . And felt like having 7 course meals. hee... hee.... I'm talking about Shobha De's novels esp - Socialite Evenings , Snapshots , Sisters , Starry Nights and Strange Obsession. I took up 'Second Thoughts' expecting the same. Well , my disappointment knew no boundaries.
'Second Thoughts' is supposedly Shobha De's novel about women ''without waving a feminist flag''. It outlines the lighter shades of dowry system , mediocre arranged married life and the plight of educated women in the middle-class society. The title character finds herself trapped in a totally unhappy married life. A very realistic portrayal. And how did and how could she escape from her dull , monotonous life? 'une affaire' !!
Hmm..... her second thoughts look quite dubious and dangerous.
