Masala Book

The "honeymoon period" continues @ IIM K. With the number of lectures still at 2 per day, one has too much time on hands for someone like me who is not at all interested in studying.
Tired of Bakar and not being interested in watching movies, I finally decided to spend some time reading, something which I haven't done in lot of days.

The "in" book these days is "3 mistakes of my life" by Chetan Bhagat. The book in itself is extremely engrossing and is quite similar to any Masala bollywood flick.
It has all the stereotypical characters and situations one can find in a masala movie; an unemotional hero, close friends, damsel in distress, "shakuni" mama.... tailormade to be made into a movie just like his previous book. Still the fact that the story is woven around some real life events and has lots of doses of cricket and politics ensures that the book is never dull.

On the down side, the book is uni-dimensional in storyline, no twists and turns, everything is predictable. Also the author often provides too much of a mail dominated view.

But still despite that the book was really fun to read and interesting enough to complete it within a day.

Overall its still fun time at K with big plans for the "induction" of new batch to IIM K. But with the updated timetable coming to our mail boxes, its the first sign marking the end of party time.
