OF COURSE I LOVE YOU... TILL I FIND SOMEONE BETTER

Hye all, just the other I purchased this all new book named “OF COURSE I LOVE YOU….TILL I FIND SOMEONE BETTER” written by Durjoy Dutta and Manvi Ahuja. Let me brief you about these two young writers first- Durjoy a Mechanical Engg. From DCE is a 2008 pass out and Manvi a Commerce Graduate from SRCC is also a 2008 pass out. They have admitted that it is their first ever book and from a reader’s perspective it’s a really good one, more so if you are in your college or have passed out very recently.
The book tells about their lives, our lives and the lives of all present era college geeks. The language is very lucid and the book is pretty engrossing. The book revolves round the characters Debashish Roy nicknamed as Deb, Vernita, ,Smriti,Shrey, Tanmay, Shawar, Paritosh, Avantika, Amit, Astha, Neeti, Yoginder,, Sri Guru. Deb,Vernita,Shrey,Yoginder,are all DEC Mechanical Engineering students with Vernita as the only female in the class and that a pretty hot one. Tanmay(Avantika’s brother) is engaged with Vernita, Avantika(SRCC commerce) had two relationships one each with Shawar and Paritosh, but their lives got screwed, Deb is like the God of all playboys and has had many relationships(physical as well as romantic ones), Shrey also obsessed with hot girls is also a mechanical geek always trying out new stuffs and adds his theories of the so called “NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORIES” to whatever conversation he is in with his friends which gets them pissed off, Amit,Astha and Neeti comes pretty late in the story and SRI GURU plays a vital role in the book through the life of Avantika.
The story starts of Deb having all sorts relationships with Smriti and finally dumps her for Avantika who has just come back from rehabilitation as she was suffering from depression, overdosage drugs and alcohol but she was a BOMBSHELL. Avantika dumped Shawar who finally got into jail because of running over people (drunk driving) and had his leg amputated. Deb was having a fantastic life with Avantika; one more thing is to be mentioned Deb though not a mirror cracking material and was overweight but he had attitude which can make girls go nuts and was an awesome kisser, that is why such a beautiful and sexy girl like Avantika fell for her. He forgot everybody, Shrey was in France for his interns, Vernita despised him as Deb was already in relationship Smriti when he came close to Avantika, who was Tanmay’s sister.Everything was good for Deb except that he screwed his future by not only scoring less in his semesters but also because of the arrogance he showed in his first ever interview that he got barred from future on-campus recruitments. On the other hand Avantika had high dreams of making it big in life and she was also a good student and being coupled with even better look she easily got the job she wanted. Deb finally got a job in BHEL through he father who was an official there. Everything was going well but the Sri Guru, Avantika’s mentor entered the scenario and screwed everything. Taking Sri Guru’s suggestion Avantika left Deb for his good as in her past relationships her fiancées suffered a lot because of her. So she left her for Bangalore for her new job and did not respond to calls, messages from Deb.
Now Deb was feeling guilty that because he dumped many girls in his past that fate has left him all alone- his parents left (his father got transferred), Shrey one of his closest friends left for Germany with some of his IIT friends, Smriti cursed him, Avantika was not reachable and all his friends were settled elsewhere. Deb was totally demoralized and decided to join Sri Guru and BHEL. There(in BHEL) he found solace to some extent in the form of Amit, his mentor who would do all his work in return for the advices Deb gave to him of how to propose to Astha (another collegue at BHEL), and Neeti had a crush on Deb. Deb did well to bring together Amit and Astha. Finally out of nowhere came Avantika back to Deb’s life and that is how the story ends also with a jolt .
It is a touching story of college students – it’s a must read for sure. And yes the book has its dose of sex, kisses, girls, and a lot of erotic descriptions, wild moments, emotion, romance, friendship and above all a portrait of our lives during our college days.Go ahead and read it
