This is a simple story, trying to convey a
message to the readers. It’s about a young boy, who is off to an engineering college.
College life begins with all its good qualities peppered with bad substances. There
are good friends, examinations, a wonderful girlfriend and loving and
understanding parents, and eventually, a brilliant job and an excellent boss.
What is different in this book, you ask?
Well, nothing actually. It’s just a young professional’s story, who believed
that he had something to say. Unfortunately, he does not. His college life and
his studies, his weird tryst with the police, a marvellous time with the ideal
girl and probably a slightly awkward experience with another woman, are all the
mixture of this story.
Unfortunately, it is lacking. On two counts,
1) an interesting story and 2) good grammar. We do need both these for any good
book. I could have understood if it was not going to be different, but there
are countless mistakes in the text of the book, that it just cannot be read and
understood.
The first page of this book itself was
replete with mistakes, like the repetition of a single word, a serious lack of
commas and grammar issues. In fact, the entire book pretty much read like that.
It could have been the Ashwani Tyagi’s diary,
in which he noted down several experiences, and converted it into a
book. Seems like he forgot to correct all the grammatical and spelling errors
he’d made. The editors could have done a better job, I felt.
Note on
Cover : It was a very confusing
cover, too much of bad colours, and a really serious guy’s face. Do not
understand it.
