I wanted to make sure I shared some important information about the book with all of you, and this is my best chance at getting the info in front of your faces. Beta, the oldest daughter should be at least engaged before the youngest gets married. You should date more. Or we can find you matches. Rishtas. Maybe someone will want to marry a woman so independent at your age.” Hi! I’m Kareena Mann. As cheesy as it sounds, I’m looking for my soulmate. In four months. And he must gain the approval of my meddling aunties. Why are you standing like that over there?” her father asked. He sounded irritated, which was no different than how he normally sounded to her lately.

His arguments, which were normally tepid, were becoming more and more frequent. It didn’t help that her grandmother, Dadi, who Kareena also had a tendency to fight with on a regular basis, sided with Dad. She was going to start dating again. She was ready. The list of qualities she wanted in her perfect man was ready to go. It had been waiting neglected in her notes app for far too long.And for those of you venturing into the book for the first time, I hope that it makes you laugh. <3 She hadn’t woken up particularly happy about her birthday, but damn it, she was really looking forward to those paranthas.

And so many of you have asked me about Charlie that I ended up just doing a video about it on TT. Here is a link to that video. Okay, but . . . well, aren’t we celebrating?” Kareena responded in the same mix of Hindi, English, and Punjabi her grandmother used. Kareena was a relatable character, one that I felt I could understand her point of view with, and sometimes I thought, “I JUST THOUGHT THAT!” For example, “Was it normal to cancel and go home and read hard?” AHH literally me too! I just want to stay home and read all day. In other words, if Kareena were a real person, I think we’d be really good friends. Miss you every day, Mom,” Kareena whispered. She pressed her fingertips to her lips and to the base of the picture. “ I feel you every time I take care of our house and work on your car. My car now.”After she finished her makeup, she put on a white button-down collared shirt and a cobalt-blue sweater vest. She dropped a cute pair of floral heels in her tote bag that she’d wear when she finally got to the office.

J-just kidding!” Dadi said, and bolted from the table. She hobbled forward, arms out for a hug. “Happy birthday, my bachcha! How could I forget my May grandbaby?” She squeezed Kareena around the waist. For me, one of the best things about Dating Dr. Dil was that as a romantic comedy, the humor was in the situation and the snark, and not in the characters. Both main characters are fully drawn and easy to identify with, even when I didn’t agree with them. Kareena Mann is a thirty-year old who provides legal counsel to women start-ups. She really knows her mind and her love for her late mother inflects a lot of her choices and passions. She was a strong character, but not rigidly so – she can stand up for what she wants, but she is not without moments of doubt. Dr. Prem Verma, the hero, is a cardiologist with a talk-show on a local South Asian Network. Several years before the novel begins, his fiancée had died of an undiagnosed illness. Since then, he had been working towards opening a clinic where the specific medical needs of the South Asian community, and other patients of color, would be attended to. He uses his talk-show in part to share health information with the Desi community in the NJ/NY area. She met her father’s eyes as he rose from his seat. He was dressed for work in khakis with a phone clip on his belt. “ You don’t want to celebrate today anyway,” he said as he rounded the table to give her a hug. “ Thirty is your first infertility milestone.” Dating Dr. Dil” is a modern masterpiece, a powerful novel that can be read on its own.

NINA: I’m so glad I hired you and Women Who Work! You’re really going to make my restaurant expansion dream a reality. Kareena tore the eye mask off her forehead and straightened her Taylor Swift concert sleep shirt. She had secured her dream job at a company that developed women-owned businesses in the tristate area before her thirtieth birthday. But of course, one text from a client and her boss energy dissipated like mist. She tossed her phone on the rumpled bedspread and rubbed her hands over her face.

Like Kareena, her family seemed to think marriage would be better for her if she found someone to settle down with, but Kareena wanted to marry for love, not convenience.
