This again seems like a concept that has been force fitted into the theme of the book, to make it relevant to the present day reader. Also, as it was touted in the media, there is not much relevance of the Language divide those who know English and those who don t. There is not much relevance of the title in the book, and it seems more a ploy to fulfil the authors fetish obsession with numbers (all his books have a number in them). Add some drama, a little sex (must in a CB book), whole lot of daily life situations and some emotionally moving dialogues. Boy meets girl in a cool campus (moving away from the IIT/ IIM to Stephens, probably in an attempt to widen the reader base), and falls in love. Talking about the book, it is very much in the genre of the author s previous offerings.

So much that the book is separated into three sections called Acts. Every page of the book feels like it has been written to be made into a movie. This is a book with the complete dialogues of a movie, sentence after sentence. In fact I could see someone like Arjun/ Ranveer playing Madhav and Deepika playing a Ria. Is this a book or a screen play is what kept confusing me while I was reading this book. He fell in love with a rich girl from Delhi called Riya. Once upon a time, there was a Bihari boy called Madhav. Book deals nicely with the poverty, terrorism, depression during world war 2 and world political problems. Madhav and Riya make a good story and it takes new turns when they go on spaceship and explore new intergalactical planetary systems.
