In an article for the Economic Times of India.

"Is it the beep of the SMS or the click of the mouse ? The rustle of the extra-marital sheet or mental chemistry that ruins a marriage? Or is it the big S—sex—that leads to shock, split and separation. It's a bit of everything or all of one thing. Clearly, there isn't a straight route to splitsville. Infidelity is all about degrees".
