5 point someone

have been waiting a long time to review my favorite book..here goes!

a seemingly harmless book that claims to guide people about what not to do at an IIT,it starts to punch you hard as you start reading it..the story is so similar to your own lifestyle that you'll be saying,'hey that's me in there!'..that's because,be it IIT or BITS,our lives are an amalgamation of shit like ManPro and elixir like vodka..maybe we haven't boozed on the insti roofs and maybe we haven't fucked profs' daughter's on their beds,but in essence its all the same..the concepts of C2D are a very advanced manifestation of what happens widely,that is copying assignments and stuff like that..basically the book covers the life of an average student who is trapped in the net that they call education in esteemed instituitions..

chetan bhagat has portrayed effectively the dilemma that every student undergoes,in the character of alok..whether to ghot day long in pursuit of a good CG or to enjoy..ryan,on the other hand shows us the futility of theoretical education when he succeds in making it big with a 5.01..hari,is the perennially indecisive character who goes by whatever ryan thinks is right..

the rosy image of college life that the celluloid world puts forward,the place where people are at perfect enjoyment,finding their love and blah blah,is at complete opposites with the stark reality that engineering colleges mete out..it is nothing better than going four more years through that grinding machine that is so misappropriately named education..it appears illogical when we look back and see that we have toiled hard for two years just for this shit..do you call those colleges the premier educational instituitions of the country where they screw with your heads in such a way that you don't stay the way you are? well i guess we can't help it coz its the way things are in this country..but this is one book that can open the eyes of all the people who think that they can play with our future and get away with it..hope it knocks some sense into them..meanwhile i'm gonna return to just being an alok for the time being..
