That was the inspiration for my debut novel, The Marriage Code. Which sparked a modicum of intensity with his family for a time…īut we all got our happily ever after. Whose parents were on the hunt for his wife.
Stunning! Another is Kerala because of the culture and coast-Rishi and Emma go there in The Marriage Code and it’s because it’s gorgeous with its backwaters, forests, and tea plantations. But, if I had to narrow it down, my top three are: Rajasthan, and specifically Jaipur and Udaipur, to visit the old forts and palaces because the architecture and art is amazing. The north and south feel like two different countries to me, and sometimes even each state feels like a different country, so I could write an entire essay about my must-see places. If we were to travel to India, what are some must-see places you would want us to check out? So as the suited-up server asked me what I’d like for dessert, in this restaurant with fancy chandeliers and napkins that felt like silk, I fumbled, because of course I couldn’t remember and said “Aloo Jamal”, which roughly translates to “potato plus some guy named Jamal.” He made me repeat it like three times before he gave up and just brought me a menu, as my friends found glee in my humiliation.
(I’d never had it before, but now I know they’re delicious, and the name loosely translates to a rose water delicacy.) Determined as I was to memorize the name (to note, I’m normally terrible at memorizing anything) I didn’t write it down. A friend from work suggested I go to this fantastic restaurant in Bangalore to celebrate and said I had to try their gulab jamun for dessert.
I had been living in India for three weeks when it was my birthday. What is the funniest thing that happened to you while you were living in India?Īside from a lot of monkey incidents, this story I can laugh about now although it was slightly mortifying at the time.
