Advaita Kala may be best described as rebellious (a result of the years spent at Welham's), confused (after four years of a liberal arts education at Berry College, Georgia, USA) and multi-faceted (having held jobs that range from being a librarian to a Tepanyaki chef). After calling three countries and numerous cities home, she has finally dropped anchor at New Delhi. She enjoys music, sailing, reading and is devoted to her St. Bernard. This is her first novel.
My name is Aisha Bhatia, I am twenty-nine years old and single. I work as a Guest Relations Manager at the Grand Orchid Hotel. I dine at luxury hotels and stay in five-stars during my travels; I can name old and new world wines with great elan, and can tell my cheeses apart. I tolerate my job, hate my boss, and bond big-time with my friends, while routinely suffering from umbilical cord whiplash. I don't really care for my vital stats at the moment, and I don't have a cute/funny nickname either. Hence this introduction: it stinks, but it sticks. In fact, sometimes I think there should be support groups like the AA out there for people like me. Wickedly irreverent and laugh-aloud funny, Almost Single is a delightful romp through the five-star world of champagne brunches, gay soirees, and the dilemmas of hip, young girls on the lookout for love and matrimony.
