I never thought I would write a book, leave aside a second one. But then they say, "ek baar chaska lag jaye to ..."

I was enjoying the responses and praise mails from Heartbreaks and Dreams - readers and fans. For last 2 years, almost every week I would get a mail asking what happened to Tanu after she left IIT? Whom did she marry? Is Champ your husband? (BTW, once in a while I do get a hate mail too :) The book has sold over 20000 copies in last 2 years - a good enough number for a first time author.

So I made up my mind to write my second novel. I knew I wanted to bring back Tanu and give my first book's readers an insight into her future. Yet, I didn't want to so a in a sequel. I wanted some new characters and new life in the book. I asked around my friends and fans and they wanted a mix of corporate romance, love story, a lot of humour, and some saas-bahu angle too.

I asked around people on what their views on arranged marriage Vs love marriage were and the diversity of responses I got, convinced me that this was going to be the central theme in my book. I was also shocked when I realized how the current youth is experimenting with sex and how "sex comes after love" has become an old-age saying.

Is their a soul-mate for everyone?

ARRANGED LOVE tries to address all these pertinent issues in a subtle, humorous way. It is a fun-filled, current generation, racy romance novel that will tickle you and at the same time set your thinking. For those of you who wanted to see Tanu, she does make a comeback in ARRANGED LOVE - how and where - read the book to find out.
