Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm by Arti Dwarakdas

Book Review

From café corners or shopping malls to muddy fields, this is a story where comfort is left behind, and chaos, courage, and plenty of laughter take over. “Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm” by Arti Dwarakdas follows Arti herself and Suzann as they leave behind city comfort to try their hand at organic farming in rural Maharashtra. What begins as a slightly wild idea soon turns into a full-blown adventure filled with surprises, chaos, and a lot of learning. If you’re imagining a calm, dreamy farm life—this book gently (and hilariously) tells you to think again.

The journey is far from easy. From dealing with tricky land paperwork and water shortages to unexpected visits from cows, snakes, and even the occasional troublemaker, every day brings a new challenge. But what makes the book so engaging is how Arti shares these struggles with humour and honesty. You’ll laugh at the missteps, feel the frustration, and celebrate the small wins—like a good harvest that feels nothing short of a miracle. It’s messy, unpredictable, and very real.

Beyond the humour, the book also shows a deeper side of farming. It talks about patience, hard work, and learning to respect the land and the people who understand it best. Arti and Suzann’s journey is not just about growing crops, but about growing as people—becoming stronger, more grounded, and more connected to the world around them. Their bond with the local community and their willingness to learn truly stand out.

Warm, witty, and inspiring, this book is perfect for anyone who has ever dreamed of escaping city life—or at least wondered what it would be like. It’s a reminder that sometimes the best stories come from taking a chance, getting your hands dirty, and learning to laugh through it all.
