Sweet, Touching, Realistic, Inspiring, Thought Provoking, Nerdy, Sanskari and definitely Oh So Romantic.
When "Dimple met Rishi" is a FULL BLOWN Bollywood masala movie in prose format (only an actual song is missing though the running around the trees does happen).
There's the burdensome cultural centric parents, a mother who believes that make up is more important for a child than education, the lead protagonists who want to break free from the clutches of tradition and expectation, the bad dudes, teenage crisis, some dishoom dishoom, a sibling twist and some song & dance thrown in (not in the way you would imagine).
And a whole lot of Sanskar.
Does it have a happy ending? Will love triumph over ambition? Will two 18 year olds find love amidst their inner turmoil?
For that you need to read the book!
There is something exciting, about reading a good love story and Sandya Menon has penned a perfect version of that. It will send tingling feelings down your spine and if you have ever felt young love this would certainly take you down memory lane.
That first touch, that first kiss, the giddy feeling in your head when you see your crush. The first time you ever held someone in your arms and experienced the feeling that all is well in this world.
The story will not only resonate with the young ones but also adults who have been there in their own time.

The story revolves around Dimple and Rishi whose parents are already playing match makers to their 18 year old children.
In today's day and age while one might find this unthinkable, the situation depicted is definitely a reality owing to India's culture and is a reflection of reality.
The back drop of the story is around the Web Development Summer program that Dimple is very keen to attend as she is extremely passionate about Web Development and has strong ideas around developing apps.
Rishi on the other hand is an extremely talented Artist and comic creator but believes he needs to give it up because he needs to follow in the Corporate footsteps of this father as tradition demands that the older son do what the parents wish even if he doesn't.
Read this story for a trip down memory lane. For the sweetness of innocent love.
For the selflessness that true love should be.
