520    Renuka Sharma is a dutiful wife, mother, and daughter-in-
       law holding the fort in a modest rental in Delhi while her
       husband tries to rack up savings in Dubai. Working as a 
       receptionist and committed to finding a place for her 
       family in the New Indian Dream of air-conditioned malls 
       and high paid jobs at multi-nationals, life is going as 
       planned until the day she strikes up a conversation with 
       an uncommonly self-possessed stranger at a Metro station. 
       Because while Mrs Sharma may espouse traditional values, 
       India is changing all around her, and it wouldn't be the 
       end of the world if she came out of her shell a little, 
       would it? With equal doses of humour and pathos, The 
       Private Life of Mrs Sharma is a sharp-eyed examination of 
       the clashing of tradition and modernity, from a dramatic 
       new voice in Indian fiction.
