by Monica Pradhan. The Tuesday before I left for Texas, my book club met for our final gathering before each of us begins exiting Tokyo for the summer. The Hindi-Bindi Club is a story about three adult daughters who were born and raised in America by their Indian immigrant parents. It's full of mother/daughter bonding and conflict as well as cultural moments as east meets west. "Simple" best describes the writing and there is little plot beyond the aforementioned relationships. One big bonus, the book comes with savory sounding recipes in each chapter! For our meeting night, two of the ladies with Indian heritage prepared samosas and mango lassis. Very delicious! Each of us wore a bindi near our "third eye" and a sheer scarf, a common accessory in a typical Indian woman's dress. Our group is comprised of ladies from around world; India, UK, France, Sweden, Guatemala, and the USA. Needless to say, we've had interesting conversations this past year and I look forward to meeting up again in September.
