SEQUEL TO DID YOU GET YOUR PERIOD? Shouldn't you be brimming with confidence after graduation? Armed with a degree in History, her high school love story still strong, camera roll filled with boomerangs and an insatiable appetite for Schezwan Maggie- why is this spunky desi girl feeling more lost than ever? *** The façade of "college life" that Karan Johar movies have promised you shatters within the first week of university. An extravagant Bollywood marketing gimmick. After three tumultuous years at college, it's time to face the real world. But what if you're not ready? Having convinced her mother to let her take an unconventional gap year, she's back at her home town. What was supposed to be a year of de-stressing; slowly begins unfolding to be everything but that. A sarcastic boy in a wheelchair, blue-haired yoga teachers, an absentee boyfriend and periods that happen four times a year- seem like a lot for a twenty-one year old to deal with. Throw into the mix a mother who won't stop hinting about UPSC examinations, a sister dropping bombshells and some very strange Gmail notifications. This nuclear Indian family has a lot to deal with! Shweta is learning how to answer some difficult questions this time. Who was the eighth Prime Minister of India? Will moon bathing help her menstrual cycle? And quite importantly, is love just a marketing gimmick too?
