Fact or Destiny??

Is it a fact or is it just my imagination. I met up with a friend at the INSIGHT Bookstore and before leaving for home we were browsing around. I was standing before a carefully picked out "student's choice" section when my I chanced upon two books lying around Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone.


One was an IIM Bangalore alumnus autobiographical novel "Everything You Desire". I had not heard the name of this one before . Harshdeep Jolly, the author, writes about his 21 months at the IIMB — his academic trials, adventurous campus life, a few love stories as literary and non-academic treats!

Well, sounds interesting, but I left that and looked at another "branded" book, this time by an IITian. Tushar Raheja's "Anything for you Ma'am". The site says:


"As a professor in IIT Delhi is busy with his love, the "Biobull"; a revolutionary bus that will run on human discharge and provide a somewhat funny yet, inexhaustible alternate fuel.....one of his students is busy with his love, a girl thankfully. Peaceful, eh? Yup and just the peaceful playground for Mr. Fate to stick his bally foot in....Tejas can’t help falling madly in love with his sister’s beautiful best friend Shreya even though she lives at the other end of the nation, in Chennai….and he would do anything for her….even jeopardize his career to travel the length of the country just to meet her".

Well! Sounds a lot like a Bollywood script. The simple flow of words makes it sound like a long blog post! I'm sure both might make an interesting read. Not very sure actually. But I promise to read if I make it to the CA ! ;) Jokes apart, both these writers have definitely used their management skills to the optimum. Following Chetan Bhagat I guess, both the books are priced at only 100 bucks! I'm sure no one would mind spending a 100 bucks to read this stuff. But then again, when you have similar blogs to read, especially if you are writing about "your journey through the IIMs/IITs", I guess the number who would buy these books would be few.

Hmm! If I will study at IIM, I guess the writing bug would bite me too! Now, what will I write. How to ruin ur career in 10 easy ways!
Now that will be a BESTEST-SELLER..!
