Everything u desire- HarshDeep Jolly

This book by Harsh Deep, an alumni of IIMB, is a brief description of what one can expect to have when in the campus.
Personally I am not too happy with the way the book is written, not too great as a start off.. think he could have done a better job.. The narration is not all that great either... the only thing u can look forward to in the book... what to expect in the 2 yrs on campus, how u grow ur frnd circle and things like it.
The book has content to deliver but doesn't stand in any comparison to the creativity of Chetan Bhagat- "the 5 . some1"... well that differs from individual to individual rt... may be was expecting a bit more here... A bit more creativity form Harsh would have made it really big...
The story revolves arnd the main character hash and his set of friends... well this is harshdeep himself... and others are a combination of some of his close associates in college... deals the love life of a few ppl really nicely... and finally realizes what he goofed up himself.. this was sort of the only deviation from the otherwise badly narrated book... well pardon me if it sounds harsh but its my personal opinion.

Sachi, if you are going to review the written word the least you should do is avoid cutesy shorthand like "jst" and "u" and "frnd" and "arnd" and "ppl". In addition, complete sentences and correct punctuation [don't do this....]would accentuate your intellect as well as give some credence to your comments. Pardon me if this sounds harsh but it more than my "personal" opinion.

i totally agree with you ... although the book gives a rigorous description of the life and events at IIM, which is to be praised due to the author's exceptional ability to chalk out minor details, but it is somewhat boring.

he doesn't talk about some of the real problems faced by management students.
many of them rediscover themselves at IIM's and end up not wanting to pursue management at all after going thru such a rigorous course, many of them change their priorities, it ends on a very abrupt note .

but the last paragraph was so touching that i will remember it for the rest of my life...

it goes like this ...

"Why don't we get everything we desire? Is it because we desire for everything? Or is it becaus there is someone out there, somewhere, who knows what is right for us. He makes sure we get everything we should get, it may not be everything we desire!"
