Book Description
Hey buddy. What are you looking for? Did you pick me up reading the title? Did anyone suggest you this book? Oops! Sorry for questioning you right away. Well, don’t you think the world around you works on questions. People don’t get to know you, but can always question you on the first place to make you unsettle, burst your bubble of comfort, and then drag you into the state of awkwardness. By the way, I am Ved Agarwal, and this is my story. But, if you are looking for acceptance, then this is your story. If you are still waiting to be heard, then this your story. If you are delaying to take a step ahead, then this your story. If you are trapped in a melodrama of life, then this is your story. If you are looking for anything in this world except for getting rich, then this is your story. Ahh! That must have shaken your thoughts, isn’t it? You must be questioning ‘How the hell this Ved Agarwal is so sure that this is my story too alongside him’? Then, to you I would like to say that ‘When you took out the book from the shelf, it was a mere story, and suddenly when it involved you as a character, the anxiety raised, the question raised, the rush to know why only me raised’. So, jump into this story alongside Ved to know why this is your story too. P.S: I would get to know your name by the end of the story. How is that possible, is a catch.

Book Description
Winner of the Silver Nautilus Award for Journalism & Investigative Reporting "Elizabeth Flock takes us on an intimate cruise on the shifting sea of the heart, in the best book set in Bombay that I've read in years. Flock's total access to her characters, and her highly sympathetic and nonjudgmental gaze, prove that love and literature know no borders. Easily the most intimate account of India that I've read, and of value to anybody that believes in love and marriage."—Suketu Mehta, author of Maximum City "This remarkable debut is so deeply reported, elegantly written, and profoundly transporting that it reads like a novel you can’t put down. It’s both a nuanced and intimate evocation of Indian culture, and a provocative and exciting meditation on marriage itself."—Katie Roiphe, author of The Violet Hour In the vein of Behind the Beautiful Forevers, an intimate, deeply reported and revelatory examination of love, marriage, and the state of modern India—as witnessed through the lives of three very different couples in today’s Mumbai. In twenty-first-century India, tradition is colliding with Western culture, a clash that touches the lives of everyday Indians from the wealthiest to the poorest. While ethnicity, class, and religion are influencing the nation’s development, so too are pop culture and technology—an uneasy fusion whose impact is most evident in the institution of marriage. The Heart Is a Shifting Sea introduces three couples whose relationships illuminate these sweeping cultural shifts in dramatic ways: Veer and Maya, a forward-thinking professional couple whose union is tested by Maya’s desire for independence; Shahzad and Sabeena, whose desperation for a child becomes entwined with the changing face of Islam; and Ashok and Parvati, whose arranged marriage, made possible by an online matchmaker, blossoms into true love. Though these three middle-class couples are at different stages in their lives and come from diverse religious backgrounds, their stories build on one another to present a layered, nuanced, and fascinating mosaic of the universal challenges, possibilities, and promise of matrimony in its present state. Elizabeth Flock has observed the evolving state of India from inside Mumbai, its largest metropolis. She spent close to a decade getting to know these couples—listening to their stories and living in their homes, where she was privy to countless moments of marital joy, inevitable frustration, dramatic upheaval, and whispered confessions and secrets. The result is a phenomenal feat of reportage that is both an enthralling portrait of a nation in the midst of transition and an unforgettable look at the universal mysteries of love and marriage that connect us all.
