Sometime back I got a chance to lay my hands on “Five point someone”,
www.fivepointsomeone.com a national best seller authored by IITD, IIMA alumni Chetan Bhagat.
Hats off i should say, for a first time author, a marvelous piece of
accomplishment in the field of writing.
The story had such a gripping effect on me, that I quit my rendezvous with the
WWE matches on TV and begun watching again, until I had read it twice.
The book crisply explains the rigors at an IIT and the trend of life in there.
It surely made me feel worthless looking at the way we studied during our
engineering days.
On the contrary it also shook some of my beliefs about the culture at IIT’s
Students who Burn two long years with arduous efforts to make it into
the IIT’s, pickup a total different lifestyle ,to such an extent to put
their career at stake.
Coming back, the book surely has an element of suspense at every stage
that entices the reader to ask for more , every dialogue perfected to its
best and situations explained down to earth .The influence of the book was
so high, that I felt myself as part of the story and present in those wacky,
mushy, staid situations .The only other book which had a similar effect on
me was Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho.
I am eagerly waiting for the day when the movie based on the lines of
5 point someone would be released.
Mr. Bhagat, thank you for bringing out such a wonderful book…..!!
