Le Meridien Jaipur unlocks Jaipur Literary Festival
Chitra told us about her novel of three generations where a mother leads a tough life and her daughter flies to US and her daughter , the third generation how she leads her life.
She also informed about her inclinations towards women issues. How she adjusted with the writing world and how she and her husband raised their family with their busy schedules and constant shifting. Sometimes her son used to hold her hand and took to her desk saying she needs to be relaxed and hence on her writing table. I could very well relate to her when she said she used to make little beds for kids while she was writing and kids slept by the side.
Her other well-known books include Arranged Marriage, Mistress of Spices & Sister of My Heart; the latter two have also been made into movies.
