Chinmoy Mukherjee, 2025

In the opulent yet stifling world of Mumbai's elite, sisters Chati and Hati, heirs to a shipping fortune, rebel against societal expectations and arranged marriages through a secretive "game" of seduction. Beginning as a thrill-seeking diversion in their youth, they lure men with charm and deception, measuring "proportions" under playful pretexts before inviting them to their hidden seaside flat for fleeting indulgences, only to discard them at dawn. Married to the stern businessman Raj and the insecure entrepreneur Vikram, the sisters continue their escapades, crafting alibis and allying against their husbands' growing suspicions. As honeymoons reveal cracks and digital trails expose hints of infidelity, the husbands descend into paranoia, employing trackers, fake profiles, and detectives, transforming their homes into battlegrounds of accusation and denial. The sisters' web of lies unravels dramatically when confrontations erupt, culminating in a chaotic raid on their flat that exposes their double lives to their parents, leading to disownment, divorce, and destitution. Forced into menial jobs and therapy, Chati and Hati confront their addiction to validation and thrill, uncovering generational traumas and their own betrayals within their alliance. Years later, through painful self-reflection and support groups, they rebuild separately—Chati finding stability in volunteer work and a new marriage, Hati channeling her energy into art—while tentatively mending family ties. Their story serves as a cautionary tale of unchecked desires eroding relationships, with faint glimmers of redemption emerging from the ruins of privilege and deceit. Hindi translation has been provided at the end of the book.
