Representaion To Books Those Pricey Thakur Girls
In a sprawling bungalow on New Delhi's posh Hailey Road, Justice Laxmi Narayan Thakur and his wife Mamta spend their days watching anxiously over their five beautiful (but troublesome) alphabetically named daughters. Anjini, married but an incorrigible flirt; Binodini, very worried about her children's hissa in the family property; Chandrakanta, who eloped with a foreigner on the eve of her wedding; Eshwari, who is just a little too popular at Modern School, Barakhamba Road; and the Judge's favourite (though fathers shouldn't have favourites): the quietly fiery Debjani, champion of all the stray animals on Hailey Road, who reads the English news on DD and clashes constantly with crusading journalist Dylan Singh Shekhawat, he of shining professional credentials but tarnished personal reputation, crushingly dismissive of her state-sponsored propaganda, but always seeking her out with half-sarcastic, half-intrigued dark eyes. Spot-on funny and toe-curlingly sexy, Those Pricey Thakur Girls is rom-com specialist Anuja Chauhan writing at her sparkling best.Specify Books As Those Pricey Thakur Girls

It's been a while since I've laughed so much while reading a book. Though the intermixing of languages was a tad jarring, I'll say what started out as a filler read for me turned out to be more promising indeed!Oh, why can't all chick-lit be like this?Anuja Chauhan writes a breathtakingly fresh and uproariously funny novel, full of delightful and tender moments of romance between Debjani, the champion-of-losers protagonist and Dylan, the cynical, hot and intelligent love interest.The novel reminds one of Pride and Prejudice at times, especially the fact that there were 5 Thakur girls, and also that Dylan is so much like Mr. Darcy. (Fangirl swoon). But, after reading one too many vapid modern Indian
The highlight of this book to me more than Dylan falling in love with one of the Thakur sisters was that of the portrayal of Delhi in the 80s. The simple things like sprinkling water on the mattress, sleeping on the terrace to beat the heat were interesting. The end was totally unpredictable. I've kinda started to like #AnujaChauhan and I'm waiting to read the sequel to this 'The House That BJ Built'.

So last night, I finished reading Anuja Chauhans latest book Those Pricey Thakur Girls. It was infinitely better than Battle For Bittora, but couldnt recreate that amazing post The Zoya Factorwarm feeling. Chauhan once again manages to capture the nuances of everyday colourful people very insightfully the Parsi receptionist, the fame-hungry eye-witness, the stud naval officer. But sometimes it just felt like Chauhan was really stuffing the book like a turkey you barely have a second to
3.5/5 A fun read ! If Salman Rushdie could write to entertain and not bore us, he would write like this. Unpretentious and refreshing. And while the author is no Wodehouse, she made the pages fly and kept me smiling. And couldnt help notice how her portrait of middle-class India in the 1980s differs so much from authors writing in Hindi.I am wary of picking up "chick-lits" and havent picked up the emperor - Chetan Bhagat's books too in years. But reviews on goodreads made me pick it up. And will
By Anuja Chauhan, Grade A I love Anuja Chauhan. I adore her characters, admire her wit and try to imitate the ease in her writing. No Indian writer in the genre can come beat her in this game, not even the famed Advaita Kala. She is the Helen Fielding of the East, the Carrie Bradshaw of India. And while both Zoya Factor and Battle for Bittora had their share of flaws, Those Pricey Thakur Girls is perfect, right from the blurb where our discipline loving Bau ji names his five daughters
When does repetitive recollections in the form of people, places, popular tv, food etc from an earlier era cease to be merely an attempt to lend colour to the setting or necessary and become, instead, cynical attempts to trigger fond nostalgia based feelings ? I do not know. Anuja peppers her story with constant reminders of the 80s - from Nirulas to postman oil to DD and its theme music to ambassador cars, friendly Sardar shopkeepers and many many more. After yet another unnecessary mention of
