What did you feel about Malini when you read the book

Building the character of Malini – the leading lady of the novel.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable and fulfilling experience for me to create the wonderful character of Malini. A simple girl with big dreams who comes to mumbai to fulfill them. I have portrayed Malini as a compassionate, hilarious, sensitive, and emotional person, in short just like the next door girl. But she is also a magnet to mistakes attracting disasters all along. Malini takes the readers through all sorts of drama as she unfolds one hilarious incident after another. Yet we find ourselves relating to it at some point or the other. Readers love the confused and clumsy Malini as against the stereotyped perfect heroine, who is human enough to make mistakes.

So what did you feel about Malini when you read the book? Did she make you smile?
Let me know...

Have you read this novel?

To Err is Human…agreed. Humans commit mistakes, but then what would you call a girl who is prone to committing errors all the time? Who attracts problems like a magnet & gets caught in a whirlwind of adventures?

Yes you would call her Malini Dixit, a synonym to utter confusion and chaos.

You find yourself relating to her woes and everyday incidents as she unfolds one adventure after another sinking herself in trouble more deep than she can manage to get out of. Yet it allows us to catch a glimpse of her true self.

Her dream is endangered when one day she commits a gross mistake. A die hard romantic at heart she haste’s to fall in love & trusts Anuj with her dream.This single error turns her life upside down.

Working at her dream job, Malini realizes that her co-workers are not her friends.  It’s a dog eat dog world and everyone wants to climb the ladder of success—even if they step on co-workers like rungs on this ladder. It is Manoj her colleague who unquestioningly stands with her throughout.

But is it too late for Malini to make amendments? Would Malini achieve her dreams? Would life be divine enough to forgive her?
