Solo Comedy Serial Audio Book
Synopsis:
Each week, debut South Asian author and presenter, Leela Rani Dua, reads you a chapter from her novel, No Dating Till You're Married, in this audiobook podcast.
No Dating Till You're Married is a cross-cultural coming of age story, set between the nostalgia of the 90s and the millennial 2020s, following first-generation Indian-American, Aria Kohli.
Everyone is getting married except Aria, and she's just fine with that. Aria Kohli, born to Indian immigrant parents and raised amongst her American peers, has led a semi-charmed kinda life. She’s got good friends, one who comes with benefits, parents who, as far as Indian parents go, are pretty chill, and a job she likes and is good at. Although she doesn't always feel like she fits in with the Indian diaspora that she is ancestrally connected to, the rest of her life is really starting to come together as long as she only goes home occasionally. But when her mother gets sick and her best friend-with-benefits wants a real relationship, she must decide which piece of each culture will define her adulthood.
Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians.
New episodes drop weekly on Thursdays on Apple, Amazon, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts.
No Dating Till You're Married has been shortlisted for the Mo Siewcharran Prize 2019.

Then, present day, Aria and her friends bump into Rahul and his friends at the bar, and Aria's worlds collide. If you're a desi girl, or have grown up cross-culturally, you might know how weird that can be.

Thu, 24 Apr 2025 19:33:00 GMT
In which we look to the past and present for insights into Aria's relationship with her parents, and deep dive into the secret double life of the Indian girl. In 1999, we get ready for a high school dance with Aria and Hayleigh, dressing in pastels and neons, and wearing make-up and butterfly clips for prom. Then flash forward to present day where Aria goes home to tell her parents, for the very first time, that she likes a boy. Yes, at the age of 29, Aria is dating. Will her parents be cool about it or will they get her arranged married to an Indian man before she can say, "We're going out, out"?

Chapter 25: The 30-Something Gang
Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:19:56 GMT
Lucy and Aria have been bffs forever and have been there for each other for equally as long. From the 90s through today, through parent problems, school struggles, and now adulting. This week, it's usually together, Lucy's turn for a breakdown. Aria has seen her through it all, her parents' divorce, navigating living with her Dad, high school break ups, college classes, and now a career hurdle and a quarter life crisis.

Chapter 24: The Issue with Girls and Boys
Thu, 10 Apr 2025 09:05:00 GMT
Aria surprises Dylan with dinner for their rewatch of the revival of their favorite TV show from college. From the same era as Friends, the OC, the Hills, and Desperate Housewives, The Issue with Girls and Boys was a true YA show. 90s and early 2000s nostalgia abounds, and while Daria (yeah, that's their ship name) is flashing back to wearing layers and layers of tank tops, and boot cut jeans, 20 years on and their high school besties have real adult problems, and so do this couple. Because Dylan wants to have a real relationship talk. And Aria really listens. But will she be able to give him what he's asking for? Find out in the latest episode of No Dating Till You're Married, an audiobook podcast.

Chapter 23: Diners, Drives, and Weird Vibes
Thu, 03 Apr 2025 09:05:00 GMT
Doctor Rahul offers to drive Aria home from the hospital. She wants to call her boyfriend, Dylan, to pick her up. But when Rahul insists, she reluctantly agrees. But then Rahul and her mom conspire to get her to agree to stop for coffee with him and, well, things snowball from there. They end up at the diner for hot chocolates and bump into Dylan and Todd. Rahul wants to know about Aria's friends, and they get deep, talking about culture, relationships, love, and family.
Check in with Aria and figure out if her life is turning into Grey's Anatomy (drama) or Scrubs (comedy)? More like a comedy of errors. Am I right?

After Aria gets an emergency call that her mom is in the hospital while at lunch with Hayleigh, the girls rush to see her, only to find Rahul there, playing Doctor McDreamy in the eyes of Aria's parents. Aria is not exactly swept off her feet, and Hayleigh is even less impressed. Aria's mom pressures her to consider an arranged marriage, and tries to play matchmaker with Rahul, but what will be the consequences?
The doctors of Seattle Grace had less drama. (Grey's Anatomy anyone?)

This week, Aria wakes up with the very first love of her life, Jonathan Taylor Thomas. It's not what you think! Ok, maybe it's exactly what you think! But that poster has been there since her teenage days, when Home Improvement was still on the air. Long before Shifting Gears was a reality.
Aria meets Hayleigh for wedding prep. It never ends during wedding season! Hayleigh is mad that Aria stood her up but Aria wins her over with pizza and tiramisu from their favorite Italian restaurant. No, it's not the Olive Garden!
They discuss table seatings and dinner menus, and of course Dylan comes up. But things soon take a turn when Aria gets a call that could change everything.

In this week's episode of No Dating Till You're Married, the Kohlis face the big C, cancer, and embark on a journey through the healthcare system. You'll never guess who Sunita's doctor is and how the family feels about it!
Health scares are stressful and mean the family is spending a lot of time together. Stressful situations bring out the worst in families. The Kohlis each regress to the 2000s, Aria in high school, version of themselves. Spending a lot of time with her parents means they have a lot of opinions on Aria's clothes, life skills, and choices. Aria is an adult now and can't help but push back.
Find out what you think of Sunita's doctor and which Kohli side you are on in the latest episode of the audiobook podcast, No Dating Till You're Married. The Good Doctor is available on Apple, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music or wherever you listen!

In this week's episode of No Dating Till You're Married, Dylan and Aria have a talk, like "the talk", while they watch The Casino episode of The Office. Do they end up like season 1 Jim and Pam or the PB&J of season 3? If they decide to model their lives after season 9, I hope they choose Michael Scott and Holly and not Dwight and Angela. All this, of course, ignoring the obvious parallels with Kelly and Ryan (Dylan and Aria have been doing their best impression of a Mindy Kaling / BJ Novak situationship till now).
Cupcakes, conversations, and commitments. Oh my!
Shout out to Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song and their breakfast! Whether they're Home Alone, Lost in New York, or living the Sweet Life of London Tipton, here's hoping they had a great valentine's day together.

In this week's episode of No Dating Till You're Married, Aria emulates Britney Spears, "Oops, I did it again!" Hayleigh confronts Aria about her will they/won't they situationship with Dylan. Hayleigh is Team Daria all the way. Or is it Team Arlan? Either way, she wants answers, and she wants them now! Or she wants them after Aria and Dylan talk about their relationship.
Aria is not ready for this. As the ineffable Taylor Swift sings, "old habits die screaming," and Aria is rather fond of this particular habit. She's enjoying the friends with benefits way things are. And, just like ten years ago at graduation, she's not sure what's next. There is the slight complication of Aria and Dylan having slept together, but that's just a thing friends do sometimes, right? No way he's her Travis Kelce, is he? Although, where is that scarf?
Find out how she handles it on Apple, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music or wherever you listen!

Chapter 14: Timing is everything
Thu, 30 Jan 2025 10:05:00 GMT
In this week's episode of No Dating Till You're Married we travel to India with the Kohli family, circa 1992, to visit Nani (grandmother) and the big Indian family, aunties, uncles, cousins, oh my! For nine-year-old Aria, it's hot, it's different, and she just wanted to go to summer camp with her friends. What will she find in her ancestral family home?
Then we're back to the present and the time has FINALLY come for Sonia's actual wedding, now that ALL the pre-wedding functions (the henna/mehndi, sangeet, puja, etc.) are complete. And Aria's parents use the opportunity to drop another bombshell revelation and offer Aria a deal. What will she do? And what does the future hold for the Kohlis?

Then we're back to endless wedding prep when Aria and Lucy, inspired by the latest Sophie Kinsella shopaholic book, shop for Hayleigh's bridal shower and pick out dresses for all the festivities, the rehearsal dinner, the bachelorette, and on and on. They chat about Matt's dating life and the c-word, cancer. Then Louis gets some bad news and meets up with Aria and Lucy and Lucy has work troubles.

Chapter 12: I see your gossip & raise you mine
Thu, 16 Jan 2025 09:30:00 GMT
In this week's episode of No Dating Till You're Married, Sonia's wedding properly kicks off with the henna / mehndi ceremonies. In the words of the iconic Shah Rukh Khan in Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, mehndi laga ke rakhna.
As per usual, Aria's parents are not impressed with her choice of date to the party as they long for her to uphold more Indian values, instead as a Third Culture kid, Aria is balancing her life with her Indian family with her social life with her American friends. A friends with benefits, situationship doesn't exactly fit the traditional expectations.

Chapters 10 & 11: Available for Marriage
Fri, 10 Jan 2025 04:51:25 GMT
Aria is participating in wedding prep for both Hayleigh's and Sonia's weddings, all the while getting judged (and set up) for still being single. Will she find someone at the wedding festivities or will she need to resort to dating apps? How will she manage hanging out with her big Indian family while balancing maid of honor duties? Dylan is supportive at least. At least there will be champagne!

We've got another double header for this week's installment of our audiobook podcast, No Dating Till You're Married.
First we spend some time with Aria's Mom, Sunita, in New Delhi, circa 1978. Our pop-culture feature of the week is flashback Bollywood classic love story, Kabhi Kabhie. The movie stars legendary Bollywood actors, Amitabh Bachan and Rishi Kapoor, father-in-laws to Aishwarya Rai (former Miss World) and Alia Bhatt (of Hollywood and Bollywood fame and wife to Ranbir Kapoor).
Then we're back to the millennial present, in the 2020s, where we go for a night out at the bars with the Kohli girls. We join the cousins for cocktails, tater tots, and talk of weddings and marriage.

In this week's installment of our audiobook podcast, No Dating TIll You're Married, we've got a double dose of our story. We start by flashing back to 1998 for some 90s millennial high-school nostalgia, where the girls have an AP Bio exam and are debating between studying or shopping for Juicy Couture so they can look iconic like Paris Hilton. Then we're back to the future, in the 2020s, where there's more wedding prep to be done for Hayleigh's big day.
