It seems like I wouldn’t have to, because there’s endless things to talk about – but I don’t even know where I should begin! Since I loved so many things about this book, I am going to have to break it into bullet points. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways. The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?ĭimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him-wherein he’ll have to woo her-he’s totally on board. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right? Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. And it was absolutely met 100%! Summaryĭimple Shah has it all figured out. I had heard such wonderful things about the book, so the hype was real. I had a feeling I was going to love When Dimple Met Rishi and I did.

This edition also includes a new chapter on the digital revolution, which situates the self and work/life transformations within the context of AI, Industry 4.0, advanced robotics and accelerating automation. With characteristic verve and clarity, Anthony Elliott explores the relationship between power, identity and personhood, connecting varied theoretical debates directly to matters of contemporary relevance and urgency, such as identity politics, the sociology of personal relationships and intimacy, and the politics of sexuality. In an accessible and concise format, the book ranges from classical intellectual traditions of symbolic interactionism, psychoanalysis and Foucauldian theory, through feminism and postfeminism, to postmodernism and the mobilities paradigm.
