Keep off the grass

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I recently finished reading “Keep off the grass” by Karan Bajaj. Another double “I” product trying to show the world that he can write. Haven’t we read enough of life in double “I” m’s and t’s and their self bashing, arrogant ways with which they pass out and feel like they have conquered the world?

The book as such isn’t bad except for the fact that it cries for attention from some bollywood big guns to buy it quickly and make it into one of that meaningless crappy blockbuster material. When they say that 95% of first time authors end up glorifying their life in their first literary work, they are true.

So self centric, so self indulgent, so much “stoned” stuff, some yoga/meditation crap… throw in some double “I” experience and voila!! We have a perfect recipe for a high profile, highly marketed [self??!!] next gen author….

I quite didn’t like the book as a whole. But I liked the way it’s written. Method writing at its best. Understandable, what with he being an MBA from double “I” m. The book has its moments but very few at that. At some point, it sounded like too much managerial gyan being given away by the author. And that too in the context of a fiction novel?

I seriously think everyone loves letter “I” for it’s the very reason why everyone does everything or anything on planet earth. But guys from double “I” m’s and t’s do it twice I believe, for that represents double “I” from which they come out.

Give me glitzy antics of ‘De madame anyday!!!
