Amidst the pain and eventual ecstasy that unfolds in the couple's lives, More Than Just Papad brings alive the fascinating cultural attributes of the two communities. Papad as a cultural stereotype acts as a metaphor for the various stages of Mona's and Sri's journey from love birds to becoming man and wife.The book not only constructs an intriguing plot, but also celebrates, in its own unique way, the contribution of Sindhis and TamBrahm Iyers to the daily life of India."
