Why don't parents understand?
Why can't teenagers listen?

A hilarious rendition of the perennial mother-daughter conflict by Mallika Thoppay and Kavitha Amarnath.


Anthara is a teenager who lives in an Indian metro city and chases all the modern trends, along with her friends. Like many, she struggles to balance the influence of her friends with the expectations of her culturally rooted mother. This conflict and confusion comes to a head when the family decides to visit their ancestral village, Chitrapur, for a temple fair.
What will happen when three generations of the family come together?

Recommended for anyone who questions traditions..

Book reviews on Amazon

"It’s a colourful and big picture book for the kids which gives an insight into the major problem of generation gap which we face as a parent .The technology driven children are way ahead as far as the social platforms are considered. Their whole life is about hashtags and moreover they always want their space now. The author has very beautifully bridged this generation gap through the grandmother. The grandmother gives freedom and space to both the kids and in her own ways make them understand various situations . It’s a short and sweet story book which definitely gives us understanding about the present scenario related to parent and children . This simple , sweet and easy read can be read as a bed time story for children." - Neeti
