When Dimple Met Rishi Chapter Summary

Improved Essays
“When Dimple Met Rishi” is written by Sandhya Menon, a New York Time and National Indie Bestselling Author. When Dimple Met Rishi is about two Indian-American teens that fall in love. This book is unfortunately not in a series. I would love to read other books if the author does make a series of this book. I am very curious about what happened in their life afterwards, and how they managed to live up to each other's expectations. I couldn't put the book down when I first started reading this book. This was such a compassionate and funny story, and I found this love story very different from other love stories. Every love story is unique but I found this one in particular really interesting. Dimple Shah, a girl very passionate …show more content…
One of the conflict was that Dimple doesn't want to be in a relationship with Rishi because she thinks it might distract her from winning the competition. This made them drift apart for some time but fortunately, they realized how much they mean to each other. They liked each other’s existence and liked to be with each other. The plot of the book is basically about Rishi and Dimple, whose parents contrive to arrange their marriage. At first, it was awkward and wasn't working out, but after they enjoyed each other's company. I feel like many people will be attracted to this book. Whoever likes to read romantic and funny love stories will love to read this book. This book is awesome for people that haven’t had a chance to read romantic comedy books. It will change your mind about love stories. If you have the mind to be open to different stories and religion you will definitely love this …show more content…
When Dimple was shocked that her parents are letting her go so easily, I would also be shocked. I think us children think our parents won’t let us go anywhere and when they do, it’s just so shocking. Our parents care for us and want to know where you are in case anything happens. I can also relate to Rishi because he wants to be an engineer because his parents what him too. He wants the happiness of his parents. I can relate because even my parents want me to be in a profession where I would get more money so I can be financially stable. This again is the worry our parents have for our future and wellbeing. When I was done the book, it reminded me of a show my grandma was watching. There was a girl and there was a boy and they met because of a family wedding. Their marriage was an arranged marriage at first, but by the time they were going to get married, it was like a love marriage. So that’s another connection I made with this book. I would totally recommend this book. If someone is interested in learning more about the Hindu culture, this book has a glimpse of the tradition. In my opinion, I feel like everyone should read this, especially teenagers. This book is different than the usual books teenagers would read. We all should read other type of books because you never know what you’re really interested in if you don't try it. I recommend it because you get to learn something different.

    Firstly, the writer expresses the idea that many times people, who grew up in different social environments may not understand each other even if they encounter the same hardships in their lives and have the same color of skin.

Her detachment from him and the family is visible by her continue ignoring of his pleads and question: “She was lost behind her sunglasses, ignoring…

His words were able to capture, in great detail, a child’s train of thought and how they would act when placed in a very difficult position.

As a student about to graduate in less than a year's time, I am able to relate with the son. With thoughts concerning the future, different occupational paths to follow, and grades to keep up, this is a very stressful year for me.…
