The above is what the blurb of the book reads. Honestly, this book is different from all the books I read. To get to know more about the story you need to catch up this debutant author.
Review: In simple language the way Soumya Khamari wrote this book is commendable. It falls to a very different genre and readers would definitely love the change brought by the effect of this book. It's a humorous writing on the protagonist , Varun who tries to find his way to happiness and his passion. While I read this book I was mesmerized by the way different tricks of success lay hidden.
It was the best debut an Indian author could give in this genre. In simple words, 'This book will teach you lessons you never heard or read of."
It is an exceptional book which is very gripping with it's sense of humour. It is a worth reading book.
The best sentence from this book was, ' The things you do while procrastinating is the things who should do for lifetime.'
After a long time I came back with book reviews and I rate this book 4.2 out of 5.
