Well, now I understand why all youngsters love this book. In
the beginning of the book he says “Thank you Mom for your support and if you
are reading this, please don’t read further, you know I love you” adding a
little humor and making the readers laugh silently before starting the novel.
The book starts with the chapter named “He Got Only 95 per
cent, Ya” wherein the author tells about his mother’s friend “anu aunty” who is
cribbing about her son not doing well and getting only 95% .in the contrast, varun
has scored just average and his mother has no words to tell. So I think in this
whole book anu aunty is the villain or a negative energy in his life. He explains
about how anu aunty always comes to his house only to brag about herself and her
son. She keeps telling about her son’s promotion in his company, how well he
plays violin and how obedient he is. Whereas, varun in the other end has no job,
plays no music, has made some short movies which anu aunty tells is no-use, and
doesn’t obey his parents.
He explains about Bangalore, it’s beautiful weather amidst
traffic, it workers all over, how important is weekends and how friends meet up
in the weekends ,discuss about their work, recollect old memories, miss them
together and have lot of fun.
On one of the weekends when his friends assemble, one of his
friends tells him that he has got an extremely good GMAT score and Varun tells
his friend who works in KPMG about his plan of starting a company which sells
pullovers to school with the school logo on it and his friend is very impressed
by it.Later when Varun tells anu aunty’s husband that he is planning to start a
company, he mocks at him and asks him to search a job instead of waste time in
non-sense.
What I learnt out of this is that have the ability to dream.
Even when the whole world discourages you, never let your dreams die. Don’t
worry about what others talk. Be crazy enough to think different and move away
from the normal line of life. Even when everyone around you stop you, get up
and keep walking.
You and only you should protect your dream and never let it
die
