"It's strange how parents sometimes think they're doing what they think is best for their children. And it turns out to be the opposite of what they thought to be for the best. Forgive me, my child."
It's Your Life by Vidya Gunavanthe chronicles the life of an unconventional young girl Pia who is born into a conservative South Indian family. Pia's father Rajan is a resident son-in-law and a philanderer and unintentionally, young Pia is instrumental in the separation of her parents. Her autocratic grandfather is responsible for banning the father from the life of his family.
Pia and her three siblings grow up under the umbrella of their wealthy maternal grandfather Sunder lyer in his beautiful mansion Brindavan in a small but beautiful town named after the fruit that grows abundantly there. Grown up Pia joins the cut-throat world of print media, a world where she creates enemies within her own family with the power of her pen.
The story weaves around Sunder lyer's family, the twists and turns in their lives, the drama and the intrigue, a family that gets torn apart by grown-up differences, truth, greed, love and lust.
