"Five point someone " experience
I've always said i had great college life.Enjoyed every moment of it.The days went past in such a manner that they could be truely termed as Days of our lives(just in the same way Joey says that in FRIENDS).
Had a similar mesmerizing experience last week....Just caught up with this book " Five point someone : What not to do in IIT " by Chetan Bhagat.Title does sound confuzing ...thats bcoz we r not IITans.But as one turns the pages one is made familiar to these terms in typical college lingo.As the title itself indicates, the book is indeed about the things one must avoid in IIT (or any Engg. college for that matter),But personally i feel there is no sense in college life if it
is devoid of masti.The characters taken are quiet realistic and the portarayal is lively.
Perfect enough as the reader starts turning the pages he is introduced to ragging scenes in the hostel just the same way any new enterant to the college is treated.From there onwards we are taken to all the hostels,classes,exams and most importantly....there is a a girlfriend angle too as
there always is one or other way in every collegers life.I have been to IIT-Delhi once and can tell u yeah...all whats in book is quiet believable. The book does talk of the
pressur and tensions of being an IITan,but sure thats either too much of pressure or little less for the boys to go about their own ways.Theres no stopping for these guys.....
In all its a perfect recipe of a Happ book and a must read for all those who want to refresh their college memories(esp engg. guys).
