This episode is in my mother tongue- Kannada. Here, I have talked about contemporary relationships and their depictions in present day novels. The changing perspectives amongst people with regards to love, marraige and relationship of any other kind. The novel I have taken for analysis is 'My Secret wish list' written by Preeti Shenoy.
