1. This author is not yet over "smsspeak" ... it creeps into his narrative.
2. This publisher does not have a copy-editor. (I picked up a Srishti Publications ... so, serves me right! Or shoud I say "My bad"!)
3. This author believes that everyone who reads this has read "Love Story", & "Preppy" (serioUsly? PreppY? Y? Y?) is now a generic term of endearment, like "sweatheart" or "honey"
The drugs angle leads nowhere, simply giving the impression that all students in B'lore have a drug routine, which is a sad conclusion & implication.
The friend angle has some truth, some depth, some tragedy, some sensitivity, but honestly, I do not get why the hero was so deeply affected & gulity about his friend, what are primary school kids supposed to do about their friends' illnesses in general?
The romance being simple is actually a relief from the bizzare twists that the sister novels are full of, but the heroine is so sugary, I gag & choke.
Sorry, yet another wannabe novel which gives the mature reader a headache.
Perhaps it is targeted at only college-going lovers.
The cover (& title) is pleasant & catchy.

Considering this is Shariq's first book, I would say well tried.
However, I was unable to connect to the main character's feelings / extreme behaviour in connection his childhood friend.
I did not understand why was the character Raghu introduced, what was going on with him in the entire book and the reason for his sudden change in behaviour.
Also, the ending seemed incomplete.

Very simple story. Immature writing. Girlfriend very sugary. Use of abusive words in every conversation, doesn't make it so cool. Seems like making a BIG deal about something simple. Couldn't relate to the author's feelings at all.

“To Whom It may concern” … started this novel yesterday and completed it today. The 186 pager took 3-4 hours to complete, it would have taken less but I had my imagination breaks while reading. Sometimes you prefer someone telling you or making your believe that everything is easy. Passing in engineering exams, getting a intelligent and confident girl who loves you no matter how shitty you are, getting good and trust worthy friends and many more things which are either impossible or very difficult to get if said are very easy to achieve, you definitely feel happy with this favorable bluff. Well this book plays the role of that someone, it definitely played that role for me for the duration of the read.
Definitely not the book if you are eying for a read which proves to be a spectacular story which twist your brains apart, a effect which almost all the ace writers create when you read their work. But if you are experiencing a lazy weekend and you are bored of T.V. and Laptop and need to give your old reading hobby a new start, this book can be a candidate.
Having said that I need to mention that the book is too straight forward. But this weekend I wanted something straight forward so I liked it. And what I have experienced, an experience with a book also depends on the mood with which you read it. I your mood coincides with that of the book, you like it no matter it has characteristics which you hate otherwise.

This is yet another novel that unravels the subtleties of a love life.

However, the dark side of author consistently haunts him and all of a sudden, the author confronts it. He realises that it is now or never. Yet he subsides it over love. But it had been too late before he realises that his decision will have everlasting consequences.
Will he get her love? Read and find it.
