Losing My Virginity and Other Dumb Ideas

Author: Madhuri Banerjee
This fictional story explores the world of Kaveri, a single 30-year-old language interpreter in the fast-paced city of Mumbai. She is a career-oriented girl who finally decides to find a partner or at least lose her virginity on her 30th birthday. She embarks on a mission to find the right man to do the act. The story follows her journey as she unexpectedly meets her ‘Great Love’ only to end up getting badly hurt due to complications involved. She then flits from one ‘ideal’ man to the next as she fully explores her sensuality. Within a year Kaveri goes from the single, untouched and unattached woman to one who has an exciting life. Aditi, her best friend and self-appointed expert in the field of using men for pleasure, ultimately gives the readers a grand surprise. The story is dotted with elements that range from parental pressure right up to intimate details of Kaveri’s new and fun life! Questions like ‘does the right man exist?’ and ‘is a perfect marriage an urban myth?’ are thrown in your face throughout the book. A quick read for those who are fans of the chick-lit genre.
