Sleeping with the Arch Rivals Padmini Dutta Sharma

'Sleeping with the arch rivals' is a fascinating book on the complexities of human emotions. In this book the author, Padmini Dutta Sharma has unraveled some of the basic anomalies without rouge. Ugly vs beauty, Lies vs truth, Love vs marriage are some of the key human emotions she talks about in her usual candid style. According to her 'most of the time we are not able to remain true to ourselves - pretension and lies are what we are compelled to take recourse to for the sake of our survival. We make random compromises, fake with ease; hide behind masks & sleep with our enemies. Pseudo mannerisms are what we have practiced and perfected over the years because that's how our brain has been tailored since infancy.'Sharma reiterates 'we lie with impunity, we cheat consciously, we hurt for pleasure, we love for convenience where marriage is a deal, we fake like seasoned actors, we act with aggression. So Let's be naked for once, I guarantee self discovery like never before.'
