Structure, check, language, check, cuss words, check.<br /><br />I can't recommend this enough for people who want to understand how to make the argument that Chetan Bhagat is not even a starting point to a literary journey.

It all came together to make it enjoyable.

Rowling. It like criticizing dark knight and loving transformers. Sanity, it seems, is always condemned to minority. <br /><br />All other books - Bas naam hi kafi hai.Tejas Chitrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407128815238295506noreply@blogger.com
