When you try to set
your mom’s life right. Be prepared to have your own turned upside down.
Seventeen-year-old Ila Isham has serious problems. There’s the angst of being
an Ali Zafar groupie, for one. Then there are the extra layers of fat she owes
to her Punjabi roots. Add to this, parents who have separated; an enthusiastic
best friend whose idea of variety is dating three guys at the same time; and
her mom’s best friend, Aunty Maleeka, whose good intentions and savvy ways
throw up more problems than solutions- and Ila’s got her hands quite full. When
her mother flips out over her plans to stalk Ali Zafar, Ila decides she has had
enough and sets out to create a few distractions to keep her mom busy. With a
little help from BFF Deepali, Aunty Maleeka and Dev of the inviting
chocolate-pool eyes, Ila will have to brave everything from Lagaan.com and
OKCupid profiles to meeting handlebar-moustache colonels and middle-aged
psychos, as she tries to set up the perfect parent trap for her unsuspecting
mother.
After reading the blurb now, I am sure you guys must have
understood what the book is all about. Ila Isham getting her mother a new life.
Nah! A man after getting new profiles done in social match making sites and
testing them. But the real interesting part is to see how she does that and
what all she gets to know about her mom in the process.
For the ‘umphteenth’ time today, Reenita Malhotra Hora has
proved what to do and more importantly, how to go more close to the teenage
group today’s time. After Forever Young, Inner Beauty and Ayurveda; Operation
Mom is one awesomely cute book that shows what goes on in the minds of the
teenage group. Written in a very funky way, the book is a must read for every
mother and for most teenagers too.
Specially written for girls, this book has been filled with
what girls do in their summer vacations and usually. Being a girl, even I know
what it feels to be a ‘groupie’ and what a girl feels when everyone says that
it is a very kiddish thing to do. To relate with the book, I didn’t have much
difficulty cause it was written in a very tell-tale way. The ‘male’ characters
in the book were written with so much precision that any girl might fall in
love with the characters (shall I take my chance here to say that Aditya has
been my fav character)
I am sure, as always Reenita has put in her journalistic
mind into framing this book cause this book will do wonders in the minds of the
readers. For the hitches, I might say that if the book were a bit more
interesting with a bit more for the guys of today’s time then it would’ve taken
the book to a whole new level. For now, I would like to request you all to grab
a book and tell us what you feel about the book…
