Usually you can find many books near my bed (Both technical and non technical). But i will start technical only when i gets bhored. Last weekend one of my best friend recommended me to read "fivepointsome" story book and he has given the book.At that time i felt like it will be bhore to read some 270 pages of english story book.
I started reading around 11. PM on 10/03/2009. It's very interesting... It's 3 Am still goes on.., It's 6. AM.it goes on...... and morning 9.AM. (eppadi ellam college la padiche irrutha engiyo poyirukalam)I had completed only 200 pages.I could felt i was dull. So i had a breakfast and started after an hour. It's noon 2.PM while completing the book.
Hope you also enjoy while reading.
Synopsis of "fivepointsomeone"Five Point Someone is a story about three friends in IIT who are unable to cope.The book starts with a disclaimer, "This is not a book to teach you how to get into IIT or even how to live in college. In fact, it describes how screwed up things can get if you don't think straight."
Three hostelmates - Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT - they screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain with them, and come in the way of anything elsethat matters - their friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive.
Will they make it? Do underperformers have a right to live? Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?
Happy reading...
