The coming of age of three young girls from different backgrounds
in Mumbai, a city fraught with communal tensions. When long time
friends Binaifer and Louella meet Shalini at Gyan Shakti College,
gyan for knowledge and shakti for strength, a true friendship that
transcends cultural and religious backgrounds is born. Louella is a
Christian and Binaifer, a Parsi. Shalini is from a traditional
Hindu family. She's been brought up to believe her parents and
autocratic grandma will choose her life partner for her. On the
very first day at college her eyes accidentally look into those of
a young fellow student's and her heart is lost forever. She knows
she must resist as her family won't allow a match with a mere
student. But she has two unlikely cupids to contend with. Binaifer
(Binny) and Louella (Lou) think Bhagu, the young student, is
perfect for Shali. The girls go through four years of college
together, facing many challenges on the one hand but also the
comfort and reassurance on the other, of growing up in the
cultural, political and bewildering mosaic that is Mumbai. The
author admits there's a message - that of the curse of communalism
(or racism). But first, the book is about the light hearted years
of college and true friendship between the girls. This is how it
all begins: Dr. Naakwaa of Gyan Shakti College couldn't help
smiling to himself as he looked at the sea of eager, animated young
faces. They all seemed to speak at once, or so it seemed to an old
man like himself, their ceaseless chatter outdone only by sudden
bursts of loud laughter. Even as they talked and laughed in their
own groups, he saw their eyes covertly watching the others. An air
of breathless expectancy hung about them, as if something momentous
would sweep them up on a wing and fly them away to an unknown
destination. Without exception, they all clamoured to go, even the
ones standing at the periphery, hesitant and slightly lost though
they appeared to be.
