Five point someone

Five point someone is everybody's story!
I started relating to it from page 1
and that's the strongest point of the book.

You can relate to the story.
In any case I always tend to go off on a tangent
when I'm reading.
Start thinking of a similar situation or people in my life,
and sometimes even get into deep and insightful thinking
about philosophy and my life.
And then I have to shake myself out of it and
get back to the book.

Well, this is happening more often with this book.
The protagonists live in a hostel, doing all things they are
not supposed to be doing (like us).

There are three friends who don't do things without each other
(reminds me of aanch, somu and me).
The race for grades and the way they manage to
finish their assignments at the last minute all resemble
our combined and cooperative studies during the XIC days.

It reminds me of my own days when I made new friends.
The hostel life, the different species of profs,
the drinking and listening to Floyd and all....
are such a big part of our life in Mumbai.

The book has kind of inspired me to put my life and times
on paper and I keep thinking about all that I could write
and how I could express it in my book.
Contrary to popular perception
I'm sure my life would be an entertaining read.

There's a potential book within each one of us!

There's so much about me, the people I have met,
and the situations I have been in, in over two years
of my life in Mumbai that I think I could write a book
called "The Sea and Me"
or something even more corney!!
