Of course, it immediately becomes obvious to one and all that Dimple and Rishi are fabulous as a couple. Happily, the big misunderstanding is cleared up almost immediately so Dimple and Rishi can get on with becoming friends who absolutely do not date because Dimple is not looking for a relationship. When a total stranger walks up to Dimple at a coffee shop at Insomnia Con and says, “Hello, future wife!” it doesn’t go well. Dimple’s parents don’t tell her anything about Rishi either. However, Rishi’s parents don’t mention to him that Dimple’s parents haven’t told her anything about Rishi or the possibility of an arrangement. They think Rishi and Dimple might be a great match, so they send Rishi to Insomnia Con to meet Dimple. Rishi trusts his parents to arrange a marriage for him.Īs a matter of fact, Rishi’s mom and dad are acquainted with Dimple’s mom and dad. Rishi used to love drawing comics, but he has set that aside, applied to MIT, and plans to have a career in computer sciences. Meanwhile, Rishi, who is also eighteen, tells himself and everyone else that he is happy to be a model oldest son to his parents, who are also from India. Since Dimple’s parents are very protective, Dimple is surprised but thrilled when her parents readily agree to let her spend part of the summer at Insomnia Con, a summer program on web development held in San Francisco. Above all else, she resents any suggestion that she would go to college to get a husband.

Dimple’s plans revolve around school and career, with no interest in marrying and having children. She resents her Indian-born mother’s attempts to mold her into a traditional woman. Here’s the plot setup: Dimple is eighteen and about to go to Stanford. It was just what I needed during a stressful day. When Dimple met Rishi is adorable and funny and utterly delightful.
