Description

Muskan has a great life: a creative job in the big city, supportive friends, and no trouble finding first dates. So what if her colleagues don't know she exists, or her friends won't stop lecturing her about the three-year 'situationship' she's in It's not like she's starving.

Muskan's family and friends seem to have all the right words, but still aren't able to articulate what they want from her. While she keeps hitting obstacles in her search for meaning, the easy-going persona Muskan has built starts to crumble and she is forced to face a question that's been quietly burning at the back of her mind: Why did her family move to America so abruptly

Warm, funny, and sharply observed, Ghost Chilli is a story about trying to find honest relationships in an isolating world, and the weight we unwittingly carry.
