First of all, I would have put up a pic of the book, but to my surprise, I couldn't find a single one on the internet. Oops, found one..
Its a story about guy named "Kanav" from Indore, an IITian (IITD to be specific) and his love story. The author (Harsh Snehanshu) himself being a student (hostelite) of IITD, has described the activities of guys in hostels in a very direct manner. I hope that none of the parents read this book because its a bit too revealing about boys hostel activities in a certain manner. It also gives a good idea as to what guys, especially those doing their undergrads, think about/of (whatever you like) the fairer sex. Its starts to get more and more interesting as you keep reading it but at some point, you might feel that it is getting bit cloying due to intense emotions which are vividly described. But there is one way this book might help guys, it helps understand how the people from venus think. The story is kind of predictable (but not exactly). The ending does not seem to be very satisfactory, the reason might be that I am used to the happy endings of BOLLYWOOD MOVIES where the couple live happily ever after.
If you like Indian authour love stories, then this one is a must read...
A very good review of a very good book. I also read the book today only, that too in one go, and was just searching for some reviews on the net, glad to find yours.
ReplyDeleteI liked the ending, since it was profound in its own way, telling that love stories never end, but always begin.
By the way, the photo of the book is available on the author's blog for the novel - you can paste it here. There was also a promotional video for the same, I am giving the links to both of these things.
