Thirty-four-year-old Ladoo, a simple middle-class divorcée from Rishikesh, wants only one thing from life--a baby. She eats gondh halwa, drinks badam milk, and takes folic acid, to stop her ticking biological clock and become the world's most fertile woman. When an accidental meeting with a gynaecologist reveals that her 'eggs are drying up and finding a sperm donor is her last chance of having a child, Ladoo races against time to find the right baby daddy, whose kundali matches her while addressing her own mixed feelings about whether Mr Right Donor can also be Mr Right. Listen to her discussing her latest book with Sidharth Jain in the podcast Hooked on Books on the RedFM India App.
