Ghost Chilli

Muskan has a great life. She has a job at a prestigious magazine (though they don't seem totally aware of her presence), a group of wonderful friends (though it feels their lives have moved on a bit lately), a loving (if overbearing) family and a string of dates that are entertaining (if not in any way fulfilling). Fine, then, Muskan is struggling. And she's annoying everyone around her with it. Muskan travels from New York to London to Chennai and back again as she navigates the quietly devastating travails of being a young Indian woman today, carried by the one thing that has got her this far - her dark sense of humour. The truth underlying all of this is that Muskan is carrying a heavy secret, one that has shaped her view of herself, and been compounded by an America driven on sexism and racism.Funny, moving and affecting - You Don't Know Hunger is a gripping story about the reality of modern relationships, and the ties that bind.
