Whenever I pick up a Chetan bhagat book- I am sure of two things- I am going back to my college days, I and living through those array of slangs, breathing in the worldly air and slowly giving myself up to the challenges, trials and failures of life- finally being rescued by the strong power of love and relationship. That’s the whole story about Chetan’s world- you hate it you like it- you are bound to love it. That is why everyone from the IITs and IIMs dotted across the country is grabbing their note pad and writing out their story. That is the reason why publishers are coming up with so many campus books. And we are presented with books like Anything For You Madam, Above Average and many more.

I had thought life to go on a tortoise pace post retirement- but here I am writing a review after getting freshly appointed in a MNC company. Books and my professional world are poles after- perhaps that is why- I hold on to books so dearly. After reading a couple of vernacular classics, Piyush Jha’s Mumbaistan- 3 explosive crime thrillers is the first English book I am reading. Here I will say, unless you know how to play with words you can’t be a writer. Piyush could score because he knew that trick well. Continue reading
