The Windfall
By Diksha Bass
A cute story, and an easy read. Set in New Delhi, it's the story of the Jha family, a middle class family who live in East Delhi. Mr. Jha sells his web company for $20 million U.S. dollars and suddenly the Jhas have moved up radically in life. Their son is doing his MBA in Ithaca, and the Jhas decide to move to Gurgaon, an elite enclave in the richest part of Delhi.
They madly try to establish a new identity, and keep up with the neighbours, they take a trip to New York and shop at Tiffany's, only to discover that their new identity doesn't fit who they really are.
Fun.
Rating: 4/5
