Until forty, Monica Singh never put a foot out of line. A pampered Pali Hill socialite and the wife of a wealthy businessman, her world revolved around luxury, status, and comfort—everything except love. But when her husband abandons her for his “baby-popping, business-tripling” mistress, VP Sales Luckshmi, Monica’s perfectly polished life collapses overnight.

Left with nothing but her wits and her camera, Monica rediscovers her first love—photography—and plunges headfirst into a madcap journey across Mumbai. Between tarot card readings, an unlikely gangster romance, a kidnapping, a car chase, a murder plot, and a very surly policeman, Monica’s quest for independence spirals into chaos, comedy, and self-discovery.

Equal parts hilarious, steamy, and suspenseful, Madness in Mumbai is a whip-smart adventure of reinvention and resilience—proof that sometimes you have to lose everything to find yourself in the city that never stops moving.

Her debut novel, Can’t Die for Size Zero (Rupa Publications), became a runaway bestseller and earned her a year-long column with Marie Claire India titled “Big Girl in a Skinny World,” part of a global initiative with contributors from New York, London, S�o Paulo, and Melbourne.

Vrushali continues to write stories that explore ambition, identity, and modern life with sharp wit and cinematic flair.
