This is the story of a Punjabi family settled in Singapore. Pin is a Singapore spirit inside Punjabi attire as she is uncomfortable with the food, dress and keeping her hair long.
What I liked so much was the mother- daughter relationship. Each time her mother and grandmother asked her not to be like her mom, she couldn't ask them why but she feared if she would be like her mom even without knowing why she shouldn't be.
There are many topics discussed in the story right from child abuse to the insults the black/brown/Asians face.
The rule that one must live with the decisions of the society and it's pros and cons are mentioned in this
