The novel is a period love story involving Emilie, a foreign exchange student, visiting the Prabhu Wada, where she falls in love with Akinsa, a resident of the Wada and a passionate, aspiring Kabbadi player. The cultural differences create conflict and strife which Emilie tries to overcome by her grit and determination. Will they make it, or will it end in heartbreak? The book very effectively portrays the impact of prevalent socio-cultural, traditional, and patriarchal influences, on the lives of the inhabitants of the Wada and their interpersonal relationships. The turbulence, the agony and ecstasy of relationships has been depicted very subtly and poignantly. The complexities of relationships and human nature with all its vagaries and idiosyncrasies, have remained unchanged down the ages and that's what makes this narrative very contemporary, simultaneously adding the element of nostalgia of a bygone era.

The story granted me a free tour to the most elite lives. Made me feel privileged and guilty. Inspired to live a life that one who looks into it would feel inspired as much I'm after reading this. Told me to be brave, be different, be there where my heart is.
It's set in the Prabhu Wada, Wada Community. Picturing Surya and Gayatri as the owners of Wada, Aditi (Surya and Gayatri's daughter), Renu, Druv and Abby, & Emilie and Akinsa. Surya and Gayatri are considered Father and Mother in the Wada Community, they've really notable personalities.
Surya is an intellectual man, an early retiree from Army, great interest in poems, and sports, and have a keen eye for talented people. Gayatri, really brave, yet broken, but she finds her inner strength and fights to make her happy.
Renu, also an intellectual lady, was elated as president in the Parshad because of her Alpha traits.
Druv, a charming lad, fights many problems from childhood and has emerged as intellectual and respectable as his mother.
Emilie , a foreigner, had come to complete her studies and fall in love with Indian culture, especially those she seen in Wada. But she was surprised by the patriarchy here. And she pursues highest education. These people inspires a lot and showed the importance of being educated.
On the other hand, Akinsa, discards education and wants to pursue kabbadi as his career, he falls in love with Emilie.
Emilie and Akinsa's relation , although support by Surya, faces repulsion from both sides.
This is just an outline of the story, really inspiring one. So must read. All lives portrayed are ecstatic.
