A cross-cultural relationship - cursed from the start.The early signs were there for Gemma to see, but the blindfold was tied, and the damage had begun.&ldquo,They asked for dowry. Isn&rsquo,t that an old custom?&rdquo,Gemma was there for Prateek at the start&hellip,and still there to the very end.So, after decades together, how did it all go so wrong?How do you go from western middle-class life to homelessness in India during the COVID-19 pandemic?How do you nearly lose your life??BLANK CHEQUE?(Noun)&ldquo,an unlimited freedom of action&rdquo,The entitlement&hellip,&lsquo,The Blank Cheque&rsquo, has been written for the millions of people who cannot speak out about abuse for fear of retribution, for the countless abandoned or abused NRI (Non-Resident Indian) brides, who, like Gemma, find themselves alone in a foreign country, and for people around the world who silently face the subtle (and not so subtle) lesser-known forms of emotional, psychological and financial abuse every day.The invisible must be made visible.
