Nothing For You My Dear Still I Love You....!

Nothing for you my dear still I love you….! Red cover with couple sitting on bench caught my eyes while I was browsing through books at Landmark store. First glance and I mistook the book for a Valentine’s Day greeting card then I saw it was actually a book. Picked it up just out of mere curiosity and smile crossed my face. 3000kms away and the book by a person from Dehradun Institute of Technology (My hometown is Dehradun), whatever it is I had to buy this one I thought. So Arpit Dugar’s debut novel was in my hand. I was excited to read what it has in store but was soon disappointed after reading just few pages. The same genre, same college life story and that too without a grip and freshness. I didn’t expected Srishti publisher to come out with this book after the amazing “A thing beyond forever” by Novoneel Chakroborty. It seemed no editing has been done; just the manuscript is published as it is, with lot of grammatical errors, Avinash (character) and Arpit (author) replacing each other, and even the author biography had a spelling error. I have no right to criticize his work and truly speaking I still finished the book in two sittings. Others may find the book good, first time reader maybe, filled with humor and love and yep knowledge also, like I never knew before what’s the height of clock tower in Dehradun is. So in the book of 183 pages I was reading it just for the sake of reading till 178 but last few pages shivered me down to the bones- that was the best part of it. And yep sometime it did made me smile with luvy-duvy acts of Avinash and Lisha. Anyways all the best DIT guy for your future endeavors.
