Book: The Hindi Bindi Club
Author: Monica Pradhan
ISBN : 978-0-7475-9513-7
Monica Pradhan was born and raised in USA…. The quintessesntial definition of the NRI…. Or the Immigrant Indian with roots and sentiments in the dusty villages and streets on India.
The usual emotional tug to the heart of an NRI is the constant juxtaposition of his two persona …. The comfort, opportunities, technology, freedom and lifestyle offered in countries where they have emigrated ….And the family, the festivities, the food, the people, the climate, the lure of India…. And yet, like everyone, they make a compromise to the best of their intentions. Yet, they try to keep their culture, customs and family ties alive by forming groups and clubs. They share food, recipes, functions, festivities and their troubles, trying to keep India alive.
Hindi Bindi Club is exactly such a story by author Monica Pradhan, about mothers who were raised in India, emigrated to USA and formed such clubs to support themselves. Now their daughters are grown, with lives, travails and troubles of their own.
