When Dimple Met Rishi (Dimple and Rishi, #1)

by Sandhya Menon

He was under the impression she still had her youthful color.

LOL

Do you think, for the past twenty-two years since marrying your father, I’ve had a minute to myself to be lazy?”

This is your motivation to never get married

What do you think others in our community will think of me

Aaah the classic “log kya bolte”

“Misogynistic! You call your own mother misogynistic?”

Desis x playing victim when someone calls you out

fall in love at the beginning of the school year and become mortal enemies by the end. Or worse, become apathetic nothings.

With the exception of seniors, I don’t think high schoolers should be dating

“Hello, future wife,” he said, his voice bubbling with glee. “I can’t wait to get started on the rest of our lives!”

LOL THIS IDIOY

ipsa scientia potestas est.

Knowledge is power

Speak first, think later,

She’s just like me fr

Your spirits are already friends.

Honestly this is such a good sign when meeting someone

“Excuse me. I’ve been to Manila, Bombay, and Haiti on missions.

So he’s one of those white guys

Because I haven’t noticed that.”

YES MAKE PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR USING MICRO AGGRESSIONS

All of Papa’s money can’t buy good manners.”

Me x Rishi

I could look at that smile every day and never get tired of it.

Simppppp

She was enjoying watching Rishi worrying about her, though she didn’t want to admit it.

They’re so cute

Didn’t you ever pay attention in any of those D.A.R.E. presentations?”

He’s just like me fr

“It’s not paranoia, Dimple. I think it’s idealistic to trust people so completely. That’s why I don’t like going to parties.”

We’re basically the same person

“Kismet.” And then Dimple Shah put her hands behind his head and pulled him in for a kiss.

How punny

He leaned over and kissed her forehead,

Awwww

Will you go on a date with me? Yes No

Awwww they’re so cute

“When you and I began to talk on the boards, I thought I should watch a couple of Bollywood movies on Netflix, figure out how to be sensitive to your culture and all that.”

THIS IS SO FUNNY

Her booty shorts barely covered her booty. Wasn’t she cold? It was foggy and damp outside.

LOL ITS GIVING HIJABI REVENGE

While Dimple struggled with both her Hindi and her Serengeti-wild hair.

We are one and the same

I’ll gladly put marriage on the back burner for the next century.”

As cute as this is, you be in a relationship with someone who wants something completely different from you. It just doesn’t work

“I’m sorry. It just… happened.”

HES A MINIR

You’re seventeen, he’s sixteen.

Oh

“Oh, for… Ashish, if you want to talk to Celia, you should. Right

Ending the miscommunication trope early>>>>

“I don’t know; she’s your mom, you know. I feel like if you were really hurting or really needed her, she’d be there for you without question. And maybe there’s a part of her she hasn’t shared with you yet that’s totally not what you expect.”

She was one of the hand on the shoulder people.

LOL

I’m in a few of those categories myself, which is why I make it a point to reach out and help those who aren’t,

PEOPLE WHO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR PRIVELAGE>>>>

It’s like you have this paintbrush, dipped in brilliant mauves and teals and golds, and you just totally redid my monochromatic life.

My standards have risen
