Five point Someone a book by Chetan Bhagat is completely time pass and fun loving book showcasing the things which are not supposed to be done at IIT. The author has beautifully written the things which can’t be done at the IIT and also shown some realistic ending, rather goffing it with some imaginary way. This book won’t leave unless you completely finish it reading, I think that’s the very good art of the author which fills more interest when you keep reading it. You won’t be able to do anything else apart from reading this book once you have started it. The author has used very simple narrative English as ones feels he’s completely present between the conversations, the book reading feels as if one is watching it on a screen or so, and I guess very soon this book would be made a movie.
About Author chethan Bhagat educated from IIT Delhi and also completed his MBA from very prestigious IIM A. The author has four I’s in his career already, currently in HONG KONG with some prominent US investment bank employee. He has some interests in yoga too and has contributed by his writings for the same.
About characters Hari author itself casting as hari , projected as a lazy, lethargic and parasite, falls in love with a girl Neha who supposed to be the daughter of one of the profs at IIT. Hari always listens to his friend Ryan who is very smart with his extra curricular activities , hates mugging though likes to do the things in different way and always as street smart. Hari has another friend Alok who just wants to complete IIT with good marks and get a job which is paying him hefty salary, , which could solve all his family problems and of course he just loves to eat has a nick name called Fatso.. Neha the daughter of a strict professor Cherian who hates the students with low GPA’s and very strict with his disciplines and the teachings. Other characters are present like Prof Veera dearest professor of Ryan and lenient on the students, and Dean Shastri.
About Story the book begins with the three characters getting into the IIT campus, suffering with the usual ragging , the two Hari and alok being rescued from ryan, by which all the three becomes good friend. As in IIT GPA’s are very important , and these three screws up their GPA’s and then tries different methods which are not to be done at IIT, As Hari falls in love with Neha , and Hari wants to impress his girl friend’s dad by scoring good marks at his subject, and again does the things which are absolutely not to be at IIT, overall a fun loving book, filled with all the fun one could imagine especially the one wherein you ride triples on a scooter ……read the book to know it better, a good fun loving book , which could be finished in 1-2 days .actually the author casted himself as hari has written this book from his point of view, without show casing any of his personal and family problems.
At last just a thought, if this book turns out to be a movie, any guess??? What would be the movie name, and considering the present bollywood actors who best suits for each character from my point of view it would be as follows
Hari acted by Abhishek bachan
Alok acted by Saif ali khan
Ryan acted by Aamir khan
Nehaacted by Sushmita Sen
Prof Cherian acted by Paresh rawal
