    "Men Like Ours" with Author Bindu Bansinath

About Bindu Bansinath: Bindu Bansinath is a staff writer at New York Magazine’s The Cut. Bindu grew up in New Brunswick and lives in Jersey City – the novel is set in a fictional NJ suburb. About Shilpi Mahajan, MBA: Shilpi is a mindfulness educator, entrepreneur, and strategic leader with over 20 years of experience across Fortune 100 companies, startups, and nonprofit leadership. She is a member . About Men Like Ours When Matthew Pillai is found dead, slumped over the wheel of his BMW, the women of Willow Road are roped into the investigation of their friend's death. At the center of the case are the Sharmas--Anita, a widow whose late husband introduced Matthew to the neighborhood, and her boundary-pushing daughter, Leila, who called him Uncle. To Anita, who has been in freefall since her arrival in the United States as a young woman, Matthew's presence offered hope, including a promise of betterment for Leila. The truth, however, is far stranger. In this darkly funny debut, the women of Willow Road find that despite their internecine quarrels, casual backstabbing, and generational feuds, in the end, there is no one to turn to but each other. This event is co-sponsored by AAPI of East Brunswick, the Indian Cultural Society, and the New Brunswick Free Public Library.
