Yes! That happened to me !

This is exactly how it felt when I read the book, well maybe not the asylum part, but those small incidents in life which we fail to acknowledge or maybe don't wish to acknowledge cause of the sheer fact that they are buried deep inside our memory lanes cause they hurt too bad. That is what exactly happened to Aditya, the protagonist, until one day the bubble burst. And then he was jus a John Doe (or Ram Kumar for the indian audience)
Unlike other reviewers of the book I think the first half ...

Truly Ordinary!!

There is nothing heroic about the hero of the story... it's the story of a person we see in our everyday life, an ordinary person who is vulnerable, insecure , passionate, in short a person with no extraordinary qualities worth writing about but yet, a person whose story is nevertheless worth telling because his story in some way is the story of each ordinary(mango :) ) one of us.

Kudos to the first-time writer

The way the story picks after 40-50 page is awesome. Flow of the incidents are good. Really liked the climax and Title of the book. Some parts of the book really makes you think about how we do things to impress people around us and make others happy and in the whole process forget our own happiness. Great effort. Keep it up !!!

A very insightful book with a deep understanding of human psyche

No matter who you are, you'll be able to relate with the protagonist. He's just like you and me. He's a smart fellow and yet caring. He has a good job, but struggles with the corporate world. He has friends and a girlfriend and yet feels lonely at times. He's a dreamer! So what happens to him?

This is the book of his journey to self discovery, to do the things he loves to, to give us all an inspiration. Find out the amazing and insightful journey of a young man, the fun in his life, the peo...

A great read

The language of the book is as beautiful as the story itself. The usages of regional tint in the dialogues makes everything so fluid that you feel like you are not just reading a book but witnessing an event. The characters are so real, you will see them all around you. The writing style is bold, very unique to a first time writer.

This book works on so many levels that I think it will be enjoyed by readers from every age group.

A Good Read

Vipin i m not into reading books but to be honest i read this book because of Binkal and out of curiosity what an RBS employee sitting in front of system engaged in some calculation can write.
It was all about how a person rediscover himself after loosing everything his job, gf, friends, trust in parent’s eye . He was no more a hero for any one and how he met some stranger who help him discover his happiness.

A book not so mind blowing but worth a read at least once.

The story is about Aditya Saxena, who rise as a successful graduate, as a successful employee, as a successful boyfriend to an extent, then fall in all of those and end up in the hospital and finally rise again realizing the true essence of life.

Author tried to the best of his abilities to convey the message that in today’s world, people run for materialistic things rather than going after things which truly give them happiness and satisfaction by describing life changing experiences that ...

The way of writing is commendable!

The description of every little thing in the book is explicit and impressive...It makes you realize that today many of us are running in a rat-race and forgetting all those blissful dreams which we saw in our childhood.
