You are here by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan

"You are here" a debut novel by Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan.

This is a book of modern day young Indian working woman called Arshi, who has a catholic father and kashmiri mother who are divorced.

The book takes us on a journey through Arshi's world, her mind and love life. There are few people she can call 'close'.

Emotions of today's young Indian girl are presented vividly. Mind of a woman is beautifully unfurled. Meenakshi's writing style is expressive. The book can be categorized as 'bold' and caters to urban and metropolitian readers. The chapters are titled innovatively.

Downside of the book is the story or rather the lack of it. This is one major handicap of the book. Not much happens throughout the book. The book appears like a beautiful lady without a soul.

It's a good read for those who like expressive writing. Those who do not look for a story in the book, may even like it.
