half girlfriend

Title: Half Girlfriend
Author: Chetan Bhagat
Pages: 270
Price: 175 INR
Published By: Rupa Publications
Genre : Love Story (Typical Bollywood Drama)
Characters: Madhav Jha and Riya Somani.
Special Appearance by Bill Gates ;)
Story set in: Dumraon and Patna (Bihar), Delhi and New York City.

The book is a story about a boy (Madhav Jha) from Bihar and a girl (Riya Somani) from Delhi. Both of them has a common point, Basketball. The boy from a rural background is very under confident to face people in his new college St. Stephens in Delhi where as the girl is modern in her appearance but is a silent natured typical girlish character. She speaks the least and enjoy listening on the contrary Madhav speaks a lot. The books deals with the life and times of both of them whilst they first met on the basketball court of St.Stephen's in Delhi till the ending when their son is fumbling with basketball on a newly prepared basketball court in Madhav's village Dumraon. As usual Chetan Bhagat has used extravagant ways to strike the right chords of emotions in the readers. The book has an essence of village and a scent of city life. The story starts like it did in Revolution 2020 and moves at a normal pace. Suddenly when Riya leaves the college the story pick up pace and continues the pace till the ending when Madhav reaches New York city. Overall worth a read and I would say not one of the best books of Chetan Bhagat.The story seems like a typical Bollywood love story which is a bit expected and a twist in the tale.  3.5 on 5 If I have to rate.

Happy 2nd first Day at HCL ;)

When I first came to know that I was doing to step into the boot of an employee very soon, I was preparing myself for a life completely different to what I was living. A new beginning from the end of student life, a life with financial freedom (although Dad never said “No” to my demands, but own earning is a different level of financial freedom) added responsibility of being an employee of an MNC. I was very certain of being relocated from Hyderabad. Had my bags up and ready for a journey to a new place with a new life style waiting to be discovered. As expected was called to Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and I set out planning a life in the traffic and all the rush of high class social and corporate living beings of IT Capital of India. Day 1: went on with never ending sequence of signatures. Day 2: a boring yet energetic half day.   Day 3: very excitedly I reached office and was having a nice time cracking jokes and making friends. As if somebody cursed the largest laughter in t...

Nihar

So, the name of male lead in my stories. I have thought a lot and came to conclusion that this name would be the best. As the name suggest the hero looks very handsome and has a very good physical build with height of around 5 feet 11. He is just like a regular boy. He had very few people who disliked him. He is a regular find in modern days. Just like a boy next door. He is very open minded and accepts his mistakes when he committed any. He strongly believes that being truthful to people will push people to be the same with him. He could cast a magic spell on anyone with the words he used in his writings but could not speak a word from his mouth. He would listen and understand everything from the beginning but never spoke a word to any one on earth. No one knew why a mind with such extravagant set of words, could never force the mouth to spill some through it for the listeners sake. He was an average student in his school never popular in girls. He has a very silent na...

r0mance of rAin and hYderaBad

Its been raining since the last five days in Hyderabad like anything.Rains are often the most unexpected in Hyderabad even in season.Such is the unexpectedness of rain.Driving in rain with coldest of water droplets coming down from heaven touching your face and palms. You feel warmer inside and chilled out outside.Every droplet of water bring a fresh fragrance of nature's beauty. The best part of rain has always been the aroma of soil that gets stuck to your olfactory organs and you won't come out of it.Had a pretty ordinary day at college drove onto the streets with a heavy drizzle on and somehow after going halfway to home felt spending some time all alone with the refreshing nature and find some peace and that proved to be a very nice and memorable decision I made in some time recently. Went on to drive past the silent Hussain Sagar lake. The necklace road was so mesmerizing in the view that I couldn't just drive past it.I parked my vehicle and got down removed my shoes...
