Can Life be all devastatingly grave twists one time and all unexpected funny surprises the other month ? Tejas, the IIT guy , the central character in this book seems to have such life. Considering the fact that he is shown to be a prankster and a charmer, his interactions with his lady love are somewhat boringly sketched in most parts . Few incidents look so over rated and over done that you want to quit reading. The book has a simple tale , which the readers ( if you are not dim wit , as per the author) might easily predict once all coincidences start piling up one over another. the narration does interest you in few pages but it is not enough to hold your attention for long. I personally found many of the description of feelings and the girl cliched ! I have certainly read better stuff on blogs if not as a whole book. This book could have easily be written better as a novella with lot of editing done. no offense meant but I really wonder if anyone reads these books well before they are published !
Synopsis :
