However there is little information available about their life , priorities and interests for others who lead a different or unconventional life. The book 34 Bubblegums and Candies by Preeti Shenoy provides a rare glimpse of the lifestyle of a middle class educated woman who looks after her family and children, while her husband pursues a conventional corporate career, with foreign trips and regular travel. The easy to read book consists of 34 short stories which are based on real life incidents and throw light on her relationship with her parents, husband, children and close friends.
