Story:

Almost all Sahitya Academy Award winners are long,winding and even boring books.


thats exactly what I thought before I read this book.yea,this book is real good.this book isnt set in great descriptiveness(if thats even a word!) ala arundhati roy nor is there a complicated story.


but this book isfast and I mean real fast.its one of the best books ive read and ive read quite a lotta books.the story is very fast paced and the author steps into the story in between amost seamlesssly and then steps out again.the story revolves around a group of people who loosely know each other(sleeping with each other or just friends)and jumps around.its absolutely riveting.


although,if you are not a big fan of verse you can get tired half way through the book(just like I did).


note of caution:there is a bit if homosexuality vowen into the story so I would not recommend it to kids(under 16).but there is absolutely no sex.(even here the author just about says it all by saying literally nothing.


otherwise,its absolutely superb book.nothing can possibely done to the book to make it better-im not a huge fan of Seth's books though.


p.s. Id like to apologize for the mistake.Its been corrected.Big thank you to my fellow reviewers.
