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
