The Great Indian Wedding: And other satirical short stories

Stories for the upwardly mobile, spiralling downward.

This isn't a Bollywood romance. No one runs through a mustard field unless it’s for an Instagram sponsorship. This is a collection of biting, hilarious tales about the glorious dumpster fire of modern Indian aspiration.

Dive into a world where:

Budgeting is for losers: A wedding isn't successful unless it requires liquidation of assets across three generations.

Spirituality is expensive: The path to enlightenment is paved with platinum accounts and gurus laundering money faster than karma can catch them.

Simplicity is complicated: Where executives spend decades earning millions just to afford the luxury of napping under a tree like they could have done at age twenty.

Bureaucracy is eternal: Where the only thing that moves slower than the traffic is a government file without a "facilitation fee."

Rajesh Seshadri delivers a masterclass in indigenous satire. It’s painfully relatable, distressingly accurate, and the funniest reality check you’ll get this year.
