Overview

What happens when a Ukrainian woman marries into an Indian family and discovers that ""normal"" is a very flexible word? After eight years in India, she has mastered many local customs. She knows that tea is rarely just tea. That leftovers are a philosophical concept. That a dinner date may quietly turn into a catering event. And that a man who orders all the kebabs is not showing off - he is showing love. From 4,000-rupee emergency sandals to marriage paperwork requiring more witnesses than a crime scene, from daily dreams of butter chicken to the humbling reality of dal-chawal, this is a sharp, affectionate, and often self-ironic portrait of life between cultures. With wit and warmth, she explores family devotion, social rules, business-minded logic, and the tender absurdities of everyday Indian life - where you may not be allowed to wear footwear inside a museum, but you will never, ever be allowed to go hungry. A humorous, honest collection of stories about love, culture shock, and discovering that sometimes the greatest luxury is not expensive wine - it's someone insisting you have ""just one more"" serving.
