Book or Crook?


There are two kinds of books for bus travellers. Both yielding the same effect of missing your alighting stop.
Ones of kind that put you to a sound sleep, no matter what happens, with just a page's read!!For some aspects in life, perseverence simply does not pay, hope I sound more as being realistic rather than pessimistic.
Others of the kind that keep you so engrossed in it that you end up missing your alighting point, well, I just finished reading a book of the second kind."Five point Someone", one that had been in my wishlist for ages,finally got read..What a wonderful and lively writing it is! An amazing ride it was from the maiden page to the last full stop encountered. Kudos! Mr.Chetan Bhagat.

5.someone! Great book indeed. The lead character's name is Hari and he is a mechanical engineer. But sadly, the similarities between him and me ends there :( My HOD never had a beautiful daughter..Sigh!
