Pink Floyd Another
Set in IIT Delhi, Five Point Someone has a lot to offer to those who have experienced college life. It was a bestseller and a favorite among the youth. But I don't know what possessed me when I was reading the book, that I didn't like it wee bit. The book was boring, weird and badly written.
The book begins with the ragging of the three main characters, Hari, Ryan and Alok, and encompasses their journey throughout their term at IIT. From drinking vodka on college roofs, to being drunk on a practical exam and even to make out with your professor's daughter; please spare me from so much fun and show me the story.
Every character is miserable in their own way. All of them have trouble at studying and Alok, the champu, is from a poor family and needs to be an engineer to earn money and everything. Typical.
Ryan, the foreign return, the stud and the savior in bad times (largely because he is the one who gets them there) has trouble with his parents and towards the end of the book, writes to his parents and sorts things out.
As of Hari, the protagonist, I really don't remember much except that he had an affair with Neha, the professor's daughter.
They have their bad times with Prof. Cherian and good times with another professor doing some lab experiments. The book, in the end shows that the true test of friendship is in hardship. No matter what I say, the three characters do stand by each other in all phases of the book, ignore the fights of course. I don't know what true fun is, it could be getting a bad grade with a proud face or an overdose of vodka or listening to Pink Floyd; frankly I don't want to read all this, I want experience it all to know it all. That is
why FPS to me is a wasted effort.
The good part of the book is that it brings to light the hidden and mysterious side of unknown IITians. It breaks the stereotype of the geeky image that was created over the years. In an interview, the author said that marriages happened because of the book. I don't know how true that is, but it sure shows a new outlook.
The book is written is plain and simple English which makes it widely acceptable and highly grammatically incorrect. Accuse me of being a harsh and snobbish English Teacher, but I spared a day for this book and time gone doesn't come back.
My best friend told me that if I ever wrote a book, there would be some awful critic who would say that I write like Mr. Bhagat. I don't know about that but on a very light note, I think someone should write a book called Five Points To Writing- What not to do what Chetan Bhagat did!
