Late Bloomers
by Deepa Varadarajan - Fiction, Humor

After 36 years of a dutiful but unhappy arranged marriage, recently divorced Suresh and Lata Raman find themselves starting new paths in life. Suresh is trying to navigate the world of online dating on a website that caters to Indians and is striking out at every turn --- until he meets a mysterious, devastatingly attractive younger woman. Lata is enjoying her newfound independence, but she's caught off guard when a professor in his early 60s starts to flirt with her. Meanwhile, Suresh and Lata's daughter, Priya, thinks her father's online pursuits are distasteful even as she embarks upon a clandestine affair of her own. And their son, Nikesh, pretends at a seemingly perfect marriage with his law-firm colleague and their young son, but hides the truth of what his relationship really entails.
