I TOO HAD A LOVE STORY




I too had a love story.
Author: Ravinder Singh

" Not everyone in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love.Some are born,just to experience the abbreviation of it."

According to me words are just not enough to describe how i felt reading the book. I just completed the book, and was on my way to the dreamworld but could not, i had to write about it.

After i got the book i was not the one who read it first.it was my friend. On reading 1st chapter he said the book had nothing interesting and left it. But then also i read it and found he was wrong.

The story is about Ravin and his love Khushi. The story starts with a reunion of the four friends. During this, they discuss many things including their marriage. And after this reunion Ravins's life changes.

He gets in contact with Khushi through a matrimonial site.

The author, in its debut novel, beautifully describes the things happening between them. The story goes on at a moderate pace.

And towards the end the story takes a different turn, which ultimately leads to a very touching end.

The book with all the colors of loveship, is a must read for everyone who are wounded by the Cupid's arrow.

and really its a heart breaking one...

IF GOD WAS A BANKER



IF GOD WAS A BANKER
Author: Ravi Subramanian

In this book the author shows how NYB(New York International Bank) came up in India, with loans and plastic money.
Thanks to the 2 management gurus, Swami and Sundeep who along with Aditya, their boss laid the foundation for NYB's credit card Facilities in India.
Swami is a sensible person. While Sundeep is highly ambitious and aggressive.
Sundeep is ready for any compromises while doing business. While Swami prefers slow and steady growth. He is a man of 'Morals and Ethics'.

The author, with his fast pace takes us through the lives of both these management gurus, lives filled with power, position, women, ambition, wealth, success, pressure, failures, etc.
Towards the end Sundeep has to pay the punishments for all his misdeeds. The punishment might have ruined his life and family if GOD had not lend his helping hand.

The author, with his simple language conveys a message to the readers.
"Wrong moves may bring success for short time, but would ultimately lead to down fall"

Though the book becomes a bit boring in the middle part but overall the book is good.
Rating 4/5

Anything for You Ma'am - An IITian's Love Story




Anything for You Ma'am - An IITian's Love Story
Author: Tushar Raheja

In this book the author tells his own story when he was studying in IIT and when he was struck by Cupid's Arrow!!!
Yes, he falls in love with his sister's best friend. Her name is Shreya and she is from Chennai. The author(Tejas in the book) is from Punjab.
Tejas justifies the statement "Love is craziness"
He can do anything for Shreya.
He travel miles, bunking his industrial tour just to meet Shreya and on the other side, Mr. Fate plays roulette with him!!!

Author's vivid descriptions of the scenes(especially the Candlelight Dinner), makes the reader captive through the book.
From funny co-incidences to witty plots, to love, author has compiled a masala story in a very colloquial language.
Mr Fate's game and the S.A.L.A.D. makes the book interesting.

Not a must read type but then also...

2 States: The Story of My Marriage



The 4th one by Chetan Bhagat.
Had been waiting for this book for a long time, but it got released suddenly.
So went to Crossword and got a copy.
It took nearly 14 hours to complete this book.
Its a story about Krish and Ananya who are from to opposite poles!(Delhi and Chennai!!)
They fall in love with each other while studying together at IIM-A and after their PG they decided to convince their families for marriage. But life takes a different turn and the families repel...!!!
The story then continues with Ananya and Krish both trying win over each other's families.

The book draws attention to the cultural differences existing in India.
And I suggest everyone to read this once...

Five Point Someone – What not to do at IIT



Well, its a book about the students at IIT, but i really dont know if such things happen there. But the book is really good. Characters are really interesting. And CB has written the book in a funny, conversational style. The story is about 3 guys studying at IIT and the incidents which take place when they try to beat the system.

The book is a collection of human emotions. and CB has put them very well.
Must read for all collegians...

This book has also been the plot for the move 3 Idiots.
And the controversies regarding the movie has made both of them famous...
