Joker In The Pack

well 4 things i had said which made me buy the book r :

1. the tag line......An irreverent view of life at IIMs
2. the dedication...to the great Indian middle class , for we dont know if what v r today is because of them or despite them
   
3. the name of the book....JOKER IN THE PACK
   
4. the poem in the beginning of the book

we see a star

and admire its glitter
the twinkle catching our eye,
and all through our lives,
we only see the twinkle,
whenever we see the star,

we know but fail to see
that all it takes to be a star
is an unending fire
A fire thats beneath the surface
the fire that made it the star it is.

And had we seen the star this way,
we might as well woken up to the fact,
that the only thing separating us
from being a star,
is the lack of fire within our hearts...

loved lot of things in the book.....can very easily identify with the central character shekhar verma as he is born in 1984 so a lot of things r like what we went thru...
the pressures of 10th n 12th...dilema of choosing the right field....
dilema of wat others will say....people around r always giving free advice n expectations from each student is so high....

jus recently someone asked students of tenth std who r ur biggest enemies n the answer was prompt.....newton einstein rutherford etc etc

also the part that only way u r connected to a person is by visiting his/her profile on social networking site is so true....sometimes that the only way u know whats going on with that person....not always your ex girlfriend or boyfriend....
sometimes in this busy world n fast pace of life we really cant be in touch with our near n dear ones too....with our cousins or class mates...n in a way thats so sad....it immediately struck a chord with me...

also part abt job interviews.... where u know all u worked hard for all this yrs is dependant on the next few minutes....this is enough pressure to psyc a person....

lots of things which i loved this book....if i start mentioning everything i guess i be writing down the whole book
must read for all book lovers


something wrong with the computer or i jus dont know enough abt it...i know we jus have to highlight the area n click again on " i " but cant manage to get it back to normal from italics...cant manage to make poem in centre...or change the colour of the two lines....dont even know how to jus keep default colour on...coz thats the settin i have done...the set colour is only purple.....but after i wrote poem in blue i cud not manage to get it back to default...n wen i put black it gets published in black...m jus tired i guess or maybe the computer has hung up or something cant figure out...pl ignore my limited skills n knowledge abt computers n blogging...
signing off for now..
