I grew up in Kerala as the eldest daughter of a middle class family struggling to meet the both ends, with three sisters in a row and a brother at the end. My marriage was arranged to a man without my consent; he married me because of the pressure from his mother. Then I found that my college mate, whom I had a crush on, was also a victim of manipulations by his close family members. Manipulation to him was more visible, but he was too polite to resist due to love, respect, and concerns he carried in his mind for them. By hearing his story and experiencing the result of coaxing in my own life, I thought of telling these to somebody, but had no intention to publish. But my college mate made me promise to him to write his side of the story after his death which I did in this book. Then I added my story too with it.I believe the time parents selecting the spouses for their children are gone. It worked for ages, but the high aspirations, freedom, independence and globalization changed the culture and demography, challenging the old order. It is high time that parents ask the children's wish in finding their spouses. Incompatibility between couples is a major reason for divorce .I hope my memoir will be a lesson to many including parents and the young ones who are getting ready to wed.

Major new book from Susan George - a leading political commentator whose previous books have been massively influential and widely read and reviewed. Fascinating, thorough and often chilling account of this decades-long transformation of American society and political culture.

Is the EU Constitution dead in the water?Although it may have disappeared from the headlines, right-wing European leaders have not given up on pushing through a binding EU text providing total freedom for goods, services and capital but few advantages for Europeans. A more neo-liberal anti-democratic document than the one rejected by the French and the Dutch may be hard to imagine, but the new reform treaty tries hard. What do they have in store for us? What should European people be fighting for?Leading writer and alter-globalisation activist Susan George explains what is at stake for all peoples of Europe. What must we reject and how will such a document affect our lives? Who will it really empower--corporations or ordinary Europeans? What kind of future do we want to build together as Europeans?
