About the book :

''A male chauvinist who derives a strange kick out of cheating on his wife; a dutiful husband who waits patiently for his wife to shed her emotional baggage from a past relationship; a coquettish office receptionist who is actually a call girl; an adventurous gay who is always on the prowl for soft targets…

Such indeed are some of the characters around Mayank Sahai, 29, the ad-sales manager of a leading matrimony website, the match-maker.com. Mayank thus lives in the disillusionment, aspiring with diminishing hope, to fall in love in all Utopian earnestness and with his ‘perfect woman’. The irony eventually arises when he identifies the image of his ‘perfect woman’ in an older happily married woman. The dreamer in him sets aside ground realities to flow with natural impulses, leading to a dangerously complicated relationship between the woman and him.

That Mayank’s relationship with Revathi unfolds during the course of one Mumbai monsoon, the first that an anticipating Mayank experiences of the city, only makes this Utopia an even more surreal experience.''
