The Reluctant Matchmaker  (English, Paperback, Bantwal Shobhan)

What if your boss asks you for a favour you cannot decline?

At thirty-one, Meena Shenoy is single and enjoys a flourishing professional life at a New Jersey high-tech company. She is admired by her colleagues, lauded by her seniors, and is on the road to a highly promising future.

But all this fails to impress her mother and aunts, who continue making dire predictions about her ticking biological clock and dropping not-so-subtle hints about finding a groom.

Meena, who has always attracted a fair amount of attention with her dainty looks, hasn’t really found someone interesting enough to spend the rest of her life with, though she hasn’t been averse to looking. But when her treacherous heart finally likes someone, it happens to be her new boss, the reticent Prajay Nayak!

As her thoughts turn to romance, Prajay makes an astonishing request that leaves Meena flabbergasted. She has to craft a personal matrimonial ad to help him find a suitable wife. His criteria: a sophisticated Indian-American woman who complements his striking height.

Walking a tightrope between her personal and professional life, Meena is now caught in a rather obnoxious yet interesting predicament! How will she find a ‘Mrs Right’ for someone who she feels is her ‘Mr Right’?

The stage is set for a saucy, highly witty story that will warm its way into your heart.
