For many years, Nasreen Akhtar dreamt of an exquisite man: her extraordinary guy.
But when the threat of a very real man become closer to reality - when her parents began to put the wheels of marriage arrangements into motion - Nasreen realised that if she were to avoid the horrors of awkward, loveless matrimonials she would have to go looking for love.
With the threat of what Nasreen perceived as ‘man with moustache’ pushing her onward, she ventured in the digital abyss, and began Internet dating.
On the web, Nasreen encounters a host of eligible bachelors: the filthy rich, the slightly poor, the wrong, the cruel, the nice, the idiotic, the perverted and the disgustingly distinguished. Despite their incompatibility, Nasreen’s encounters give her a renewed understanding of her world and herself.
As seasons change and years slip by, Nasreen comes to resign herself to a lonely life, without love or companionship. But, maybe love can only emerge when you’re not looking for it…
