Two main characters of the novel are Krish Malhotra, a north Indian
Punjabi boy and Ananya Swaminathan, a Tamilian Brahmin girl. Ananya,
who is from an economics background, is the most talked about girl at the
campus of IIM Ahemadabad, whereas Krish is an IIT graduate. Soon they
become good friends and their friendship turns into love and they start to
live together. After the course both of them get job in the companies they
have wished. Then Krish proposes to Ananya for marriage. While both of
them were ready but not their families as, being from different states
opposition from the respective families is obvious in India. Both of them
irrespective of their own state and caste specific culture are not
stereotyped. They are liberal in their thoughts. In spite of all this, they
pick to convince their parents and take turn to win each other’s families.
For this, Krish asks his company for his placement in Chennai just to
remain close to Ananya’s family. Finally Krish manages to convince them.
Then he takes Ananya with him to meet his mother. Except for Krish’s
father rest of the family accepted her after an incident in which Ananya
saves the marriage of Krish’s cousin. Krish has a very troubled relationship
with his father so he tries to ignore him. Again due to cultural difference
the marriage is called off and with this Krish goes into depression. Finally
Krish’s father convinces everyone for the marriage and they both get
married and are blessed with twins.
