When She Married Dr. Patekar And Other Stories

Mehak, a famous Bollywood star who marries an ordinary NRI doctor in small-town America, is stunned at the fickleness of fame. Dark and untold memories of an Uncle in Sarla’s Indian childhood continue to define the word ‘family’ for Sarla as she raises a family in America. These and other global desis in a post-9/11 and pre-WhatsApp world navigate different geographies guided and misled by a lingering nostalgia. Leaving a place is never easy. Nidhi Thakur grew up in Dehradun (India), and then, through a Master's degree in Delhi, she moved to the USA for graduate studies. She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and two daughters. Nidhi writes shayari (poetry), fiction and commentary in Hindustani and English, and is an active community member participating in projects about culture, climate, and chaos.
