A Lover’s Confession
remember the day we did not meet,
or the day we didn’t talk rather
the day when it was not windy
the day it did not rain.

Happy Valentine’s Day and all.
On this V-day I remember my last year’s V-day. Last year in Febuary I took a trip to a small town in East Africa. Well I have this eccentric friend of mine, Ishan, and he has this crazy young uncle who deals in some leather stuff export business. So what happens is Ishan and me have nothing to do like kites in the rainy season. More

Fighting with each other,
Brutally.

Wishing for—
More love,
More books,
More flowers.
Life with you is fun.
Nobody understood me before,
Now even I don’t.

This is the second book by Chetan Bhagat, whose first book “Five Point Someone” was a major hit in India. This one is even better than his first book. It’s funny and interesting and very light. Bhagat is an excellent storyteller but he needs a good editor. The book is very cheap at 95 rupees, but cheapness comes at a price: bad editor and bad paper/print quality. I started reading it last night and finished it in one sitting, 6 hours straight. No, I wasn’t sitting, I was lying.
