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.

Temple Run

Had an ordinary day all through out. At around 6 started towards the easy of the city. Never really had this faith kinda thing towards religious aspects. So going to temple was far too much for me to asked. Today I went to Dilsukhnagar to visit temple of lord who I have on my ring for last few years, Sai Baba. Thursday is counted as his favorite day and I intentionally made it to the temple today as per the wish of a close friend of mine. I promised that I would and I kept my word. I don't know why I had to go exactly but I did and trust me I felt like being all alone among 500 other people in the temple. I would have never known this feeling of being actually peaceful from the interior without visiting the temple today. I thank the one held responsible for it. Just coz u said today I went and found myself peaceful time after a long long time. Still I would say I ain't getting into the religious boots but its your faith. I will trust your faith and will change things are in m...

HCL: The name itself is enough :P

November 7 2014, The day I was put into something much more responsible than I have ever felt, deployed! Directly into project. No pre training no assessment, no instruction spell. Just like a snap of fingers, SNAP and poof! Within the last 10 days I had already traveled from 3 three major cities in IT industry,Hyderabad to start and then Banglore (now Bengaluru) for reporting and for the final touch NOIDA (the farthest campus I could possibly be relocated to)in the extreme north, though we were again sent to another sector within NOIDA, anyway I reported on a Friday (Faad Friday) to sector 126 HCLT campus. Out of 4 of the options I was in, I got in voluntarily to work with the team I saw in front of me just a few minutes ago.3 members came from the team to meet me and I found them friendly. And like everything else in HCL project assignation also happened in nick of a time. Since then, till today I have occupied a seat among the team with a very warm welcome into their fa...

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...
