Maya Malik is a 28-year-old single lonely aging Asian girl who wants a gorgeous husband and a grand ostentatious wedding. For a professional Bengali, her biggest fear isn't being overlooked for promotion. It's the realisation that she has to find a husband from a diminishing stock of eligible bachelors that consists of mommy's boys, coconut go-getters, and bendhoo bicharas. To join the league of the married, Maya endures family introductions, blind dates, with Internet meetings in a journey that takes her from London to New York to Dhaka, and then back to London again. And when close friend Jhanghir Rahman announces his sudden wedding, Maya realises that with love, life and marriage, a girl can use old world traditions, and new world savvy to get exactly what she wants. The A-Z Guide to Arranged Marriages celebrates the realities of an age-old tradition for the new generation. From bastard bridegrooms, interfering auntijhis's to wedding weepers, follow Maya's charming roller coaster ride through singledom and the arranged marriage process. 'Simply Splendid, so read, laugh and relate. Simply Splendid.' - HBA

So Meeti, do you cook?' 'Sometimes ... Pasta.' 'How about nice round rotis?' If I were a little kid, this could be the moment I flung a toy car at his face. When Meeti Shroff-Shah recruited her parents to find her a husband, she didn't think she'd have to meet more than forty men before she was married. As she waded through biodatas, signed up on matrimonial sites, frequented astrologers, dealt with meddling aunties and made her way through the terrifying arranged-marriage jungle, she discovered within herself a rare kind of perseverance and the very vital ability to laugh at most things. In her outrageously funny book, Meeti guides the reader step by step, latte by latte, on how to brave the process of the modern Indian arranged marriage and emerge triumphant, with spirit intact and ring finger appropriately bedecked.
