Book Summary of A Roller Coaster Ride!

This is tale about an IITian Guy, a lively character, who while at IIT preferred girls over hanging out with friends or seniors. He was famous among fellow IITians for his stories of late night chats with strange girls on yahoo, orkut and on phone. During placement, after failing to clear several written tests, he some how manages to get a job. He shifts to Gurgaon with a notion to change his lover boy image leaving behind his girl friend (made through Orkut) wondering what if he hooks up with any other girl who unlike her is professional and extrovert, basically Maddy's kind of girl.

In Gurgaon, he shifts to flat no. H-93 where he lived with five other flatmates of different backgrounds and behaviors. Three of them were from the same IIT and were also joining the same company. They had heard about Maddy through word of mouth. The ghost of lover boy image followed him to Gurgaon. He immediately starts feeling discomfort in their company. H-93 brings a surprise element in his life, whether it was a routine booze party on the weekend or a request for the blind date from an Orkut or arrival of the cook who claimed to have worked with Imran Hashmi and Saroj Khan. To Maddy, his flatmates were living a life without hitches.

Maddy starts his 1st day at office with a dream that he should achieve name & fame in the corporate world. There he meets Divya, alumnus Bits Pilani, who leads her first project. She was a typical tom boy kind of girl with a built few extra pounds. She was among the best analyst, extremely talented; had won several competitions and also started Entrepreneurship Cell back in her college days. Her credentials and Maddy's dreams were in-sync, so soon they become the closest pals and he increasingly becomes dependant on her for almost everything.

He starts spending more and more time in the office even during the weekends, ignoring his H-93 flatmates to an extent that they start thinking of kicking him out of the house. Very soon he becomes the star analyst in the group and also catches an entrepreneurship fever. Amidst all this his love life starts coming off track. But Divya gives him unmatchable support and they together take the journey of their life when they traveled thousand miles to Mumbai. They had little idea what destiny had in store for them. There life changed for ever after that....

After coming from Mumbai, Divya was asked to leave her job, which was followed by series of incidents that shook Maddy's world. The mystery unfolds and his professional career undergoes a downfall and he reaches a situation of getting fired from his job.

To find out how Maddy endeavors to become a start analyst...why and what about the Mumbai trip....what was the mystery? What happened to his love life? Were H-93 flatmates actually on a smooth ride and do they actually kick him out? Was Maddy successful in fulfilling his dreams? Go and grab your copy now.

Get over IIT/IIM

Its time to get over the childish infatuation which has developed into a pretty perverse kind of affair. Get over the IIT/IIM brand of literature. Its so sad that good India Literature is being held captive to such shoddy pieces of writing and literature ranting about the same old things. The old wine in a new bottle can only sell and be read for a certain amount of time, what all of you authors don't understand is overselling is going to kill this new brand of authors forever. Also, all this literature is being loathed around for the quality of written substance in it.

Please Think about these things while ranting about your IIT/IIM love affair.

A good attempt!

To start with, the book is TYPICAL. Loser boy of IIT, hits on girls on the Internet. Falls in love with her. Then gets a job, shifts cities, girl fights, boy cries, girl fights a little more, boy goes all the way to another city to meet him.
Somewhere in the middle comes in another girl. Boy falls in love with her after his first girlfriends cheats on him. Literally!!!!
The book is completely whacko and at the end of it you think. Why on earth would anyone want to write an entire story based on this? Locations are realistic(those who have lived in Gurgaon will know that the KPO in the book screams "Evalueserve"). If my common sense serves me correctly, this is mostly the authors own story of being cheated in love and finding friends. Unfortunately the finding friends bit doesn't come across at all. The ending could have been more impactful.
On the whole there is nothing extraordinary about the book, its the usual stuff about girls loving coffee and IITians being maniacs towards the female species.
Not to forget there are at least 60 typing/spelling errors in the book. At times you don't know who is saying what!
BUT, reading about the world and learning more. We sure learn what goes on in the top floor of the so-called brightest minds of our country!

A WoNdeRfuL READ......

Congrats to Saumil,,
that's a wonderful product at your first shot..
i just started it when i took a break from my studies , but i could never go back before completing the whole book. the characters are so lively that you yourself get so much involved that u start feeling like one of them, watching everything in front of your eyes. it shows the various characters whom, almost everyone, will experience in their lives and gives us the clue what to do and what not to, at the very crucial times in our lives.. this book contains everything, in which love and affection, friendship and other emotions play a major role. i would rather stop here and surely suggest that this book contains something or the other for everyone from young to old, so reading it makes you happy in a lot of ways...
Dude, i will surely wait for your second book......

Worth it - without a doubt!

Yes, this book & the way the story has been told is a bit Chetan Bhagat-ish. But, still makes a great read.

roller coaster break

The book starts off well and builds up character well, but the end is a disappointment. Too predictable genre.
