When I read Five Point Someone I had no idea who Chetan Bhagat is. It was a long time ago and a kind of story that wasn’t compelling enough to stick in my memory but I suppose it was one of those books I just read without straining my bird brain much. It was enjoyable… [Read more…]

Roomie 1: What the hell ! They give such limited food and the rent for just half a room is more than that of a flat! What’s the rent for a single Non-A/c room in the hostel? Rs. 10K? Roomie 2 : Yup. Guess Tihar Jail is better. Single Cell. Rent free accommodation. Roomie 1:… [Read more…]
