‘I have finally made up my mind about the “problem”. ‘What problem?’ Aditi asked. ‘My virginity,’ I whispered into the phone.

‘Ah, that!’
‘I’ am serious. I need help’.
‘Okay then. Let’s make it happen tonight, let’s de-virginize you!
See you at the bar at 8, okay?’

A. Everything is a choice.
B. Once the choice is made…let go!
More power to Madhuri for recognizing both, in this book!

-Sushmita Sen

Kaveri is thirty, single, knows seven languages, is an interpreter by profession, has read all the books about men and how to get a date. Yet, she has not been able to figure out the language of love. Since ‘The One Great Love’ of her life has eluded her for thirty years and might never show up, she decides to take matters into her own hands. One her thirtieth birthday, she makes a resolution – love or no love, she is going to lose her virginity. Life, however, has other plans!

This is the story of a spirited woman who plunges into a rollercoaster ride filled with ideas, ideals and adventures – each new day competing with yesterday to make her rethink and re-evaluate life and love.
