Book Description
In the lush and vibrant village of Alleppey, Kerala, a wedding brings together a tapestry of traditions, love, and the ceaseless beauty of the monsoon rains. **"A Monsoon Wedding"** tells the heartwarming and evocative tale of Lakshmi and Ravi's journey to matrimonial bliss, intricately planned by the dedicated wedding planner, Aisha. Aisha, a meticulous and creative wedding planner from Mumbai, arrives in Alleppey with the task of orchestrating the perfect wedding for Lakshmi and Ravi. Her initial days are filled with challenges as she navigates through the nuances of Kerala's traditions and the unpredictable monsoon weather. The story unfolds with Aisha immersing herself in the local culture, forming deep bonds with the Nair family and the villagers who are as integral to the celebration as the rituals themselves. Throughout her journey, Aisha encounters a series of heartfelt and enriching experiences. She collaborates with Radhakrishnan, a revered local musician, to weave the soul of Kerala’s music into the wedding ceremonies. With Sundar, the skilled florist, she crafts a floral wonderland that blends traditional and contemporary elements, transforming the venue into a breathtaking celebration of nature and culture. Ananya, a talented artisan, helps Aisha incorporate traditional crafts into the decor, adding authenticity and charm to the wedding. As the wedding day approaches, the monsoon rains become both a challenge and a blessing, imbuing the celebration with a unique magic. The ceremony itself is a grand yet intimate affair, filled with traditional rituals, heartfelt emotions, and the vibrant sounds of local music. Despite the rain, or perhaps because of it, the wedding becomes a testament to resilience, love, and the enduring beauty of tradition. The narrative reaches its zenith with the wedding ceremony, where Lakshmi and Ravi exchange vows amidst the lush, rain-kissed landscape of Alleppey. The monsoon, far from being a hindrance, enhances the romance and mystique of the occasion, symbolizing the life-giving force that nourishes both the land and the human spirit. Aisha's journey culminates in a profound sense of accomplishment and connection, as she helps create a wedding that is not just a union of two hearts, but a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. As the rain-soaked celebration concludes, Aisha reflects on her time in Alleppey, filled with gratitude for the experiences and relationships she has formed. The story leaves readers with a sense of peace and fulfillment, echoing the gentle promise of new beginnings brought by the monsoon. "A Monsoon Wedding" is a story of love, tradition, and the magic of the monsoon, beautifully capturing the essence of Kerala's culture and the timeless beauty of a wedding that becomes a cherished memory for all who are part of it.

Book Description
Shoba Narayan’s Monsoon Diary weaves a fascinating food narrative that combines delectable Indian recipes with tales from her life, stories of her delightfully eccentric family, and musings about Indian culture. Narayan recounts her childhood in South India, her college days in America, her arranged marriage, and visits from her parents and in-laws to her home in New York City. Monsoon Diary is populated with characters like Raju, the milkman who named his cows after his wives; the iron-man who daily set up shop in Narayan’s front yard, picking up red-hot coals with his bare hands; her mercurial grandparents and inventive parents. Narayan illumines Indian customs while commenting on American culture from the vantage point of the sympathetic outsider. Her characters, like Narayan herself, have a thing or two to say about cooking and about life. In this creative and intimate work, Narayan’s considerable vegetarian cooking talents are matched by stories as varied as Indian spices—at times pungent, mellow, piquant, and sweet. Tantalizing recipes for potato masala, dosa, and coconut chutney, among others, emerge from Narayan’s absorbing tales about food and the solemn and quirky customs that surround it.

Book Description
On 20th May the Indian summer monsoon will begin to envelop the country in two great wet arms, one coming from the east, the other from the west. They are united over central India around 10th July, a date that can be calculated within seven or eight days. Alexander Frater aims to follow the monsoon, staying sometimes behind it, sometimes in front of it, and everywhere watching the impact of this extraordinary phenomenon. During the anxious period of waiting, the weather forecaster is king, consulted by pie-crested cockatoos, and a joyful period ensues: there is a period of promiscuity, and scandals proliferate. Frater's journey takes him to Bangkok and the cowboy town on the Thai-Malaysian border to Rangoon and Akyab in Burma (where the front funnels up between the mountains and the sea). His fascinating narrative reveals the exotic, often startling, discoveries of an ambitious and irresistibly romantic adventurer.
