Twinkle’s Reviews > Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh: India's Lonely Young Women and the Search for Intimacy and Independence > Status Update

"My passion for what I did and my
ferocious attachment to it became a deficiency that no cosmetic product
could hide."

A cocktail of internalised misogyny, hyperfocussed material success, narrow desires, celebration of external adornments and patriarchal gifts of bargains and negotiations are brought to you through this documentation. The book is offering some take away for everyone, given they have the patience.

"Why aren’t family and friendship enough? Why doesn’t my
professional life make me as happy as my ex did? Why does a man’s love
matter so much? It’s one thing to read, retweet and recite great feminists.
It’s quite another to live their lessons every day as a scared single woman in
Delhi. I am sorry for being this self-obsessed when women in our country
are protesting and struggling, but I can’t deny my hurt."
