Sangeeta Mall is a consulting editor with the International Humanist News. A graduate of the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, Sangeeta recently did her Masters in Creative Writing from the University of Pittsburgh. She now lives in Mumbai. This is her first novel. Sangeeta is now a full time writer.

Life on cloud nine isn''t always easy—especially when both your husband and your college sweetheart want to share it with you

Busy looking after her writers'' colony and hoping for a holiday in Spain with her husband and children, Shruti Narayan is startled to find a rather unwanted email in her inbox one morning. It is an invitation to a reunion at her college in Bangalore. It takes her a second to delete the mail. After all, why would she want to leave her life in Philadelphia to visit the past, to go back to Priya, the best friend she deserted, and to Jaggu, the old flame she has left so far behind? But as luck would have it, her husband finds out about the reunion and Shruti and her family find themselves at the gates of her college.

Desperate to ensure that her family does not learn about her past escapades, and at the same time unable to prevent herself from revisiting old memories, Shruti is caught in a guilty whirlpool of emotions and desires, as she struggles to reconcile past and

present loyalties.
