Anything For you ma'am

Title : Anything for you ma'am
Author : Tushar Raheja

This novel is again from an IITian about an IITian but with a difference as its more about his personal life rather than IIT's life.Got hold of this novel again from a friend who is in a kinda quest of reading all these types of novels.......chetan bhagat types and above avg one was also recommended to me by him onli......onli left out now is "joker of the packs".....will try to get it from somewhere too.

hmm!! now about the book..........okay! if you can ignore the grammatical errors and don't have those bond type writing style in your mind and just want to read a book for entertainment or to refresh yourself, pick this one. Awesome theme line, quite casual way of writing and too good description...I personally like the book because it was written in somewhat my style of writing and the descriptions too. but there is one more thing too, i could relate myself with the story line and with the main character,Tejas Narula. This novel is much more decent as compared to the previous one with no swear words but somehow in the end , writer has tried to bring every under a word "co-incidence"but then its a novel and not a reality.

My take : will read it whenever I am a bit low or whenever I doubt my decision

Above Average

Title : Above Average
Author : Amitabha Bagchi(another IITian author writing about an IITIan guy)

I got hold of this book from one of my friend who recommended this to me saying that its one of the "realistic" book. I read it and found it a book really based on reality, its more like pages have been teared off from a person's diary and shuffled and presented in the form of book.
And as most of us live a life with just incidents passing by with no meaning or aim, thats the way the book was written -- "aimlessly". It started with a boy going for IIT coaching and ended with a man about to complete his PhD in US. In between, every thing is real......how guys think........what all nasty things dey do.........what all dey fascinate............what all swear words they use.........the true image of a hostel life....passion for rock, studies and ofc! "gals", but then I am not interested in reading someone's else diary which has nothing in it to appeal me or even I dunno nething about the person concerned. I am not interested in knowing what all happens in someone's life..........come on !! write a novel but atleast have a theme .....this book was a sheer disappointment to me but some good things were too...........author was totally honest in showing an IITian's true life and he has a sharp eye for things happening around him but again a boring long and boring description of picturesque around sometimes.

but found some quote which I liked

"The strongest and deepest bonds we form in our life are with those people who know how to hurt u in most devastating way"

"If you really love someone.,it doesn't matter what the cost it, it doesn't matter if they can repay you or not,you have to do whatever you can for them"

"Loneliness is a disease, its symptoms grow rapidly in the night"


my rating : wont read it again ever

why?

usually we start a new thing when we are too motivated or interested in doing that but here the case is different. I am starting this blog to write about what I feel about the books which read, it can be anything from comics to articles to fiction to science to philosophy. These are solely my views. I read a novel which I found very much disappointing but I want to remember that novel for some reasons ...so thought of doing it.......hopes i will keep on reading and posting my views about it

so will start with

"Above Average" by Amitabha Bagchi ...the novel which inspired to start off a blog on the books i have read
