You cant call it a romantic novel, neither a tragedy. It touches all aspects of life. From the sweet college days to the bitterness of married life. from the pathetic living conditions of village people to the posh life of city dwellers. from the adverse and poor conditions of rural schools to the life of world's richest man. everything has been touched in this book.
The face of bihari boy and delhi girl, their friendship, love, romance, separation, reunion, sex everything make it a different experience.
Chetan, you have made me a fan of yours. I liked the book and want to read your other books also.
