'Mita's Dilemma' by Sudesna Ghosh ~ Spotlight

Blurb

Newly single and fresh into a great job, Mita isn’t looking for a relationship. There’s her sweet, good looking colleague who reminds her of someone she’d rather forget. And then there’s the temptation of no strings attached pleasure. She is a woman trying to figure out what she wants and she’s in no hurry -- until a furry little creature comes into her life, forcing her to make a choice.

It’s sexy. It’s cute. It’s heart-warming.

A romantic comedy with heart set in Kolkata, India.

Excerpt

Mita tried not to ogle him. His wet white shirt and facial hair reminded her of Shah Rukh Khan dancing in the rain in Dilwale. He came in and threw off his shoes. His shirt followed. Now she was admiring his strong abdomen and his broad chest. A perfect toasty brown.

“Will you stop staring and get me a towel?” He sounded annoyed.

Mita got him one and pointed him in the direction of the bathroom. Surely, he couldn't take his jeans off in her living room. She shouted after him, “I was not staring at you!”

Facing her with a seductive look, he replied, “That's okay. You can stare.”

She rolled her eyes, letting him go inside for a hot shower. She had turned on the geyser for herself but she wasn't that wet so she could wait. Ruchi called to check if she'd reached home safely.

She told her that she was fine, adding, “Suraj is staying over tonight.”

Her friend got excited, asking her if this was wise considering they were colleagues and that he looked like her ex. Mita promised her she’d go straight to bed. Alone. Suraj could sleep on the divan. It was cozy.

He came out wearing the towel around his waist.

Grinning, he asked, “Do you have anything I could wear for the night?”

Vengeance- A sting in every tale. (A WRIMO India anthology)

At the onset, I’d like to thank Neelesh Inamdar- a contributing author in the anthology, ‘Vengeance’- for giving me an opportunity to read it and review it on my blog. Confession- Not being a fan of anthologies, this was only the second one I got down to read; and I didn’t much enjoy the first. Having said that, Vengeance came as a surprise and a pleasant one at that. One of the reasons I can think of is that each story is bound around a common theme of revenge and vengeance (but then, you had already guessed that, didn’t you?) I would not be doing justice to the book, if I don’t talk about each story separately. So, here goes: 1) ‘The beautiful ratio’, by Shweta Rao Garg : I liked her choice of words and her use of Syntax. What also stands out is her keen observation of the real life around; right from the weirdly spelled local sign boards (Manchuri rais and Oneon Garlik), to the cinematographic description of a middle class Muslim neig...
