I started this one without much expectation after CB's previous novel and I was proved right. It is high time "the paperback king of India" rethought about his plots and storytelling ways.
The story(?) goes like this. The boy, Krishna(again named after Lord Krishna, like all of CB's heroes) meets Ananya ,falls in love, sleeps with her and hopes to marry her . But, wait a minute. Isn't this the story of every CB hero? Well, yes. Its the "same old story" except that the boy is Punjabi and the girl is South Indian. The next step, convice their parents for an inter-state marriage. Now follows an unrealistic, boring, sloppy and idiotic attempts to "woo" the parents. I advice you stop reading at this point rather than wait till the last chapter when they finally get married with their parent's blessings.
I just hope this is not made into a movie. Read this book only if you have nothing else to do. 1.5 out of 5.
