It is only when something is over and done with, that people grow nostalgic about it. This is particularly true of college days for everyone. During the three or four years of studies, most students wait for time to pass quickly so that they can stop learning and start earning. All the friendship, fun, and exciting experiences are taken for granted.
Once they graduate and the next phase of life starts, the memories of their college days become glorious. Every aspect of those few years might seem magical, and they long to go back in time and relive their experiences. This book evokes such feelings in the reader. The scary sessions of ragging on first entering college, the heady feeling of freedom compared to the relative regimen of school days, discovering a new environment and becoming a part of it - all these start off the experience.
Then comes the tedious process of acquiring knowledge, the lectures that have to be endured, the hectic preparation sessions for the exams, and the placement season.
In between, the memorable and fun aspects - forging new friendships, chatting and sleeping as a group at the last bench, cutting classes, wild parties, a few scattered romances, the bonding between friends - are what really evoke the feeling of nostalgia.
The author brings out all these aspects in a cheeky and hilarious style, and for this reason, the book is fun to read. At the end of it all, the message of this book is simple - whatever the odds, there is always a reason to smile and carry on to face the challenges of another day.ISBN - 9789380828367
