The first thing we notice about any novel is its “Title” and if the title is so fascinating then one will surely dig out time to go through this book. A book by very young authors Durjoy Datta and Maanavi Ahuja both from Delhi.
The last part of the title “till I find someone better..” is the dream of every engineering student….but it’s a dream seen by open eyes and “Off course” is never fulfilled for at least for99% guys but our hero Deb belongs to other 1%(I wish I could have been among 1% of those guys!!!!!).He fulfills his dream by loving girls mostly behind the tinted windows of cars, the old bhootbangala and surprisingly in the gardens of the India Gate early in the morning……now that’s really amazing!!!
Since the character Deb is mechanical engineering student the book mostly talk about the porn, alcohol, movies, girlfriends and OFF Course SEX (I start remembering myengg days. No point in discussing my engg days here as the element girlfriend was totally absent and hence SEX. So I think porn and alcohol was the result of sheer desperation ). The protagonist who loves to breakup with girls after sleeping with them, gets the most beautiful women described as “Plastic surgeons still can't rival god”and that to virgin(I think that’s my reading mistake)
A good and refreshing novel with the essence of Chetan Bhagat with too many bad words. But that’s the way how engineers deal with words and Deb is not an exception(Me too ;-)) At some point books fails to maintain the pace and appears to be crawling but then Durjoy Datta, the author does the magic and you just can’t wait to turn over the pages to see the surprise waiting for you and I bet you will not disappoint!
Just forget to mention the female protagonist Avantika, a rehabilitated drug addict and a brilliant student. But masters of all things drugs, alcohol….and OFF COURSE SEX. Ending is something beyond imagination and kudos to Durjoy Datta and Maanavi Ahuja. But I definitely believe that its not imagination. Its something that Durjoy and Maanvi has done. (I started visualizing their lovemaking). A must read book for every engineer and makes no harm if you are not an engineer. The200+ pages are purely fun to read(I imagined while reading and this is how I fulfill dreams..imagination).
