While love is an emotion that is universally experienced, it is colored and nuanced by cultural context and setting. Inspired by the Modern Love column in the New York Times, this collection explores love as offered, received, and felt in the present time and within the Indian ethos. Within this framework, there is a great deal of variation. The authors are from India, the United States, and Singapore. Accounts are about love in arranged marriage (of course!), marriage the second time around, a not-quite-romance in college. Along the way, you will encounter a wife who unfriends her husband on Facebook and an adoptive mother who worries about the well-being of the birth mother on Mothers Day. Download this anthology, grab a cup of coffee and a favorite cookie, and get transported into a deep exploration of love and acceptance.

Autorenporträt
Ranjani Rao is a trained scientist, a self-taught writer, yoga practitioner, and lifelong learner committed to an apprenticeship in observation. Originally from Mumbai, she spent her early adult life in the USA where she first began writing. Her fiction and non-fiction writing are inspired by her life in three countries and travels to thirty.Her work has appeared in several print and digital publications in the USA, India and Singapore. Her essay titled, "The Girl With The Red Dot", originally published on Alternet.org was chosen for inclusion in the Thomson Reader, a college-level English textbook.She is the author of three books, a regular columnist for India Currents, an Indian-American magazine and The Straits Times, Singapore.Ranjani lives with her family in Singapore. When not working or tackling the unread pile of books by her bedside, she goes for long walks in the nature reserve behind her home. She returns with either new ideas or pictures of wildlife that she shares on social media, much to the embarrassment of her children.
