I would not recommend this book to everyone for the language content.
That's because some people get offended very easily.
But the whole book constantly reminds me of my college days
when I was witness to humourous incidents like the ones in the book.
It is about Agasthya Sen alias ''AUGUST'' who is on his training as an IAS office in
Madna.
Having stayed in Cambridge Massachusets (as he points out to an officer from REAL Cambridge) he naturally is averse to the sedintry life in Madna.
He however finds ways and means of amusing himself.
The book is witty and sarcastic about the bureaucracy ( don't we Indians love bitching about bureaucracy and politics ? ).
One funny ( and somewhat gross parts of the book) is when somebody asked
him what father does and when he says that Sen senior is the Governor of Bengal, the reaction was incredible (read it yourself to find out).
The whole book has such funny tit-bits.
