About this listen

What does a bunch of 20-somethings have in common?

1. A plan for how their lives will shape up in regards their careers, passions, dreams, love or sex.

2. A plan for completing the above plan.

Not if you are Vik or belong to his friend circle. Life here is anything but a plan. Here ideas for life are scoffed at, dreams never appear in their long slumber and having fun and being laidback is considered to be an 'in' thing.

Welcome to this world, where everything else is made to wait.

But will time wait for them? Or will they succeed in their farfetched dreams for which they haven't even started working? Oops...even thinking?

What role does Raghav, their best friend have in their life? Will he himself succeed in his unusual and rather unconventional idea of opening a dating club in the crowded, bustling Priya complex of Delhi?

Will time teach them a lesson? Or will they manage to cheat the calendar?

Highly Average Book for beginners on Audible

The book covers some youth from Delhi who grow through their and their friend’s struggle in life. Learning lessons the harder way. The chapters have been partitioned assiduously with the title of each suiting the narration perfectly. It has been narrated very well. I could almost feel the emotion of the actors as they were spoken by Susheel Kumar.

I disagree with the author, life is neither meant to be lived by pursuing one goal after the other nor does it become meaningful by just remaining idle and obsessed in pursuit of sensory pleasures. It is a balance of these and many other complex dimensions that make up for a meaningful living.

But it has a very predictive story line with little thrill or suspense. The descriptive words are very common and have been reused time and again. Closing of the book covered in last few chapters makes the listener feel that the book was nothing but a small idea laid down over some 5 hrs to grab audience’s attention.

Won’t recommend this book to anyone for the above reasons.
