Book - Delhi Stopover

Author, Fashionista Tulika Mehrotra and her Delhi Stopover!


Who doesn’t get gawky eyed looking at the reed thin models on the runway on F TV? The little that I know of their tiny waists, smoking eyes and ridiculously sexy clothes comes from newspapers and magazines. Wouldn’t you like to know more? Here’s an insider’s take on the incestuous world of Fashion. On a personal note, the more I interact with the lovely author the more I am convinced that the Delhi Stopover is not just another book with a different setting. It's a much talked about book and is attracting the attention of the media and the Readers. Have a look!

But Lila doesn¹t want to look back and soon lands a bikini shoot for an Italian agency. In her struggle to drop a few sizes, she begins a punishing routine of exercising and crash dieting . . . and, not surprisingly, drugs.
