It discusses the lifestyle of India’s youngsters – people in the age group of 25-35 and form almost half of India’s population. The main plot revolves around Aditi, the protagonist, a girl who loves dancing, and the freedom that she enjoys in the city. The book tracks her life in New Delhi, and observes the behaviour of a generation that refuses to bend down to the old rules of living. The author effectively paints a picture of the drastic cultural change among the urban youth in liberal India. The book has three sections, namely, One-On-One, Wide Angle, and Entertain Us. It touches upon sensitive topics like commitment and drug abuse, while maintaining an objective stance.
