Everything about coffee excites us isn’t
it? Be it coffee mugs, face scrub (I happened to try one a few days ago) or a
freshly brewed book! Well that is what pulled me to this book “50 cups of

“50 cups of coffee” is a beautiful
account of a 30 something girl who is trying hard to fit into the Indian world.
When the society is all about getting married by the age of 25 and less
concerned about the choices of women towards their life partners, the character
Dia is adamant on not settling for less! The determination to find Mr. Right
and the pain to go through a lot of Mr. Wrongs is a journey that every girl has
to take today. And when Dia signs up for the marriage meet-ups, each cup of
coffee seemed a little obnoxious and perplexing than the other.
The book takes you on a journey of
personal experiences, juggling of thoughts, a lot of judgments and insider
details of 50 coffee dates that Dia took to find her Mr. Right. The writing is
crisp, full of wit and amazingly wrapped with a lot of puns. With sharp words
and to the point phrases the author manages to keep you intrigued to the story.
The marriage scenario and the emotional turmoil of the character will relate to
you if you too have been thinking of settling with marriage. “50 cups of
coffee” isn’t 50 chapters of coffee dates but an account of personal
experiences revolving around Dia – the character who is on with the marriage
proposal through matrimonial sites and the things she finds she cannot settle
with. With each date there comes a new theory about men and evaluation of their
so called ‘type’. With sarcasm, judgments, ‘facepalm’-moments and common traits
you will be reminded of a lot of your own dates!
This book is a light read! Makes for a
good laugh on your own past dates, a gossip the about the search of grooms and
also a go-to guide for women who are trying to make their mind up for marriage
while finding it hard to meet their Mr. Right. Not that you will get a solution
– but that you’ll realize you are not alone!
