THE BLURB SAYS:
There sitting on that porch, that light-eyed man, a pitta like me, was my ex-husband and that woman whose inner element I was unaware of, unless bitch is accepted as an undiscovered fourth dosha, was his young wife.

THE BLURB SAYS:
There sitting on that porch, that light-eyed man, a pitta like me, was my ex-husband and that woman whose inner element I was unaware of, unless bitch is accepted as an undiscovered fourth dosha, was his young wife.
In the serene sanctuary of Kerala’s Shanthamaaya spa where food is rationed, sex forbidden and emotions centred, Anshu meets someone familiar and deeply unsettling – her ex-husband. Bittersweet, funny and wise, Pyjamas Are Forgiving confirms Twinkle Khanna as one of our great storytellers.

MY THOUGHTS:
"Pyajamas Are Forgiving" deals with the complexities of relationship - love and marriage, and the vulnerability associated with it. The backdrop is Kerala’s serene Shanthamaaya spa. There Anshu bumps into her ex-husband Jay, who is visiting with his young new wife. As old memories and feelings get ignited, Anshu finds herself in a daunting situation. Her peers at the facility are from different walks of life, and they lend perspective to the story.
It is a simple story, dealing with complex feelings. It is Anshu's tale of finally getting a bittersweet closure on her past relationship.
Personally, I enjoy the author's non-fiction writings more than her stories. They are a delight to read. But her stories are very real. To me, they lack the magic of beautiful storytelling, but decent reads nonetheless.
