TIED IN KNOTS BY TEHZEEB DOCTOR

Tehzeeb Doctor started her career as a copywriter and later worked as a teacher for the mentally handicapped. It was during this time that she began to freelance writing for magazines.

Tied in Knots  is her first book., which is a book on contemporary life in Mumbai,. Working as a wedding planner, Shaista discovers that tying knots is neither the beginning nor culmination of a relationship. Human relationships often challenge or break free from conventions and social institutions. Krish, a young, gay man, moving into an apartment with his partner Kabir and Mrs. Bannerjee announcing a new man in her life soon after her daughter’s wedding, only extend the boundary of the bold new world.

High in emotion, constant introspection and weary of people who constantly suprise, Tied in Knots is an example of the many tangled webs we weave in our daily life. Ultimately however there comes a point that you release the clamour that surrounds you and embrace the calm in your own voice.

Tehzeeb will come and discuss her book and share her journey with us.
