Im not 24! i have been 19 for five years..,


The above is literally not my statement!!
i just finished reading a book named so, written  by young Indian author 'Sachin Garg'.

 The Story is quite simple..,
Saumya kapoor a 24 year old gal who had just finished her MBA,got placed for one of the best company in campus recruitment.
She leaves from Delhi(hometown) to Torangalu(karnataka) to join her work place.! Things turn out to be a little tough for her, due to some misunderstanding with her name,as a result she ends up with a different job profile which was not created for her. In  a new place, to say, in a new world she ends up being friends with Amith and Malappa,who are new joinies just like her.
In a trip to Hampi, she falls in love with Shubro.., its kinda love at first site. Shubro is a bengali, he is a drunken hippie who does not stay at one place for more than 3 months!!

well,rest of the story is about how she,Amith and Malappa struggle at their work, what all problems she faces in her new company and how she gets to know the real Shubro over time..that he is entirely a different(nice) guy! than what she had actually thought about him.

To say about the author Sachin Garg(dunno much abt him!), is an young Indian author, this being his second book....
well, i personally did not like his way of writing much, i believe
that its very hard for a man to wirte a novel with the woman's
perspective! and i guess no one can write about a real woman, her feelings ,her emotions and her thoughts like Sidney Sheldon or any other authors out there.
And i believe it requires experience and probably much more than that to write about a woman.
Half of the character description about Saumya, he made her sound like Dude!!  well c'mon usually girls wont be like that..!!.
And he says that girls who are 19 still fall for guy's looks!! and
Saumya had been acting like a 19 year old untill she finally
understood her feelings for Subhro. Well, in my point of view,
nowadays hardly any 19 year old girl fall for a guy! over his looks. Perhaps i would agree if the age gets down to sixteen :D..
well, he also states that-Topper status in class is 'hateful by
default', i am still wondering about this!!!  though not out with a conclusion yet...!!.
Over all,its quite boring at the start, but definitely its worth a read..!! :)
