converted into an alliance, an everlasting relationship, that is,
a marital bond.

in convincing each other’s family to accept this interstate
marriage.

7. Book Review: Cntd.
 Chennai and Delhi are finally subjugated by the one word
that links the two cities, that is India.
 Yes, Indianness is above the divisions of state that we have
imposed upon ourselves.
 It also emphasizes upon the fact that a marriage is not just
about connecting two souls together but it also ties a knot
between two families.

8. Book Review: Cntd.
 For both of them, a smile on the faces of their near and dear
ones was essential. They wanted all of them to be happy.
 The book strikes a chord with the youth of India.
 In spite of the many encumbrances in life, one should not
give up but face the impediments that come our way.
 This is life; it is not a bed of roses indeed.
 The feeling of contentment which follows the success is great.

9. Book Review: Cntd.
 Feeling of accomplishment, which succeeds, is immense.
 It overshadows all other feelings.
 It is this great feeling that dawned upon Krish and Ananya
after their marriage. They live happily ever after. Later,
Ananya gives birth to baby twins.
 The hospital authorities ask to which state the children should
belong, provided the fact that the two parents belong to
different states.
 Krish replies that the children belong neither to Chennai or
Delhi but to a much bigger state, India.
