Balancing Act is a book that is all about the balancing act that Tara Mistri does on a day-to-day basis in her life. Tara Mistri is a stay-at-home mother, who is a frustrated architect as well. She is described as being a baker of biscuits and a maker of bricks. Tara is perplexed by the absolute confusion in her life and is inspired by the Salk Institute, which is in California. Her aim is to bring in the kind of symmetry that exists there, into her own life. What names does a feminist mother get called? Is she a femimom or a mominist? Is a woman a confused human being who is a professional, mother, wife, daughter and so on? Tara thinks on exactly these lines, when she attempts to bring order in her life. However, she finds it near impossible to think of getting back to her career as she has two small kids. This leaves her using her set squares as dirt-scrapers, instead of using them for what they're actually meant for. However, things take a turn for Tara when she is suddenly offered a job. Tara is goaded on by her personal demon named Yakshi, who is all out to ruin her peace. Will Tara succeed in striking the perfect balance when it comes to love, kids, work and play dough?
