Remma’s Windmill is a collection of thought-provoking stories that coalesce into a novel. Rem, as she is called by her friends, grows up in the 60’s and 70’s, when India was emerging from the shadows of the colonial years under the British. Coming from an orthodox Brahmin family, Rem is obliged to find her own balance, teetering between the conventional demands of the elders and her irresistible desire to keep up with her more progressive friends. While her pre-teen years are spent in the farmstead of her grandparents in Kerala, her teens take her to Hyderabad, where an unhappy experience compels her to grow up overnight in a fast-forward mode.
The 80’s take her to Abu Dhabi, where she secures a teaching job. Life becomes a routine run but everything changes with the advent of the internet in the 90’s. It offers her the most amazing outlet and she learns to use it proficiently enough to foray into the exciting world of ICQ, a social app, which makes it possible to connect with people all over the world. Remma finally hopes to find her identity in this virtual world, through the relationship she forges with a Dutchman. Does she manage to do so?
