I read it on the last day of my college life, so i did enjoy this one. However it is very ordinary, over-hyped, and mediocre. Worth as miss.

Like the protagonist, this book is awkward, but for some reason still endearing.
LibraryThing member shyambiyar
A fun book all the way from the front cover to the back cover. May not be the most well-written book or anything, but if it wasn't for this book, I would not have read any other book. The perfect place for a person to get into the book reading habit.

A very funny and humorous take on a student's life in India's most premiere engineering institute.

I first read it a good six years ago and had loved it. I still like it. It is no literary masterpiece and it would be wrong to compare it with one. It is a dime novel through and through and a good one at that. It offers a good, quick read - it is a page turner and keeps you hooked till the end.

Good pieces of literature linger with you even when you have read the last word. This is not one of them. It does not leave any lingering impressions. You do feel a little good and warm when you reach the end.
If you have to while away an afternoon or have a long commute or have to pass a long night or if you have watched the movie pick up this book - it won't disappoint; just don't expect to gain anything from it.

This is the best piece by Mr. C and his writing has gone positively downhill with each subsequent work.

I loved it and read it again and again and again and...well, now I realise there are a lot of better things to read, but I still go back to it to pass time.

A fantastic funny collage life story blend with romance that you will definitely not able to stop reading until the end.
LibraryThing member thebikeryogi
It was fresh, addictive, unpretentious, and hilarious at times.

However, the foul language generously used is not everyone's cup of tea.

On the whole, it is highly recommended. Fun guaranteed..!!
