Family Ties that Bind ... and Choke

It is hard to amalgamate any culture with a foreign one. If someone is born and brought up in India, it's an exceptionally big challenge, especially for women brought up to revere Indian culture. My humorous tale 'Family Ties ... that Bind and Choke' deals with the plight of Komal, one such woman whose struggles are further exacerbated by the constant power struggles between her old mother and college-going daughter. In this three-generational family situation, she realizes she needs not just strength but also ingenuity and a good knowledge of psychology to make and stand by her own decisions, especially a remarriage.
