Anything for you ma'am

Recently finished reading "Anything for you ma’am". I am not good at writing book reviews but thought I should share its story for those who haven't heard of this novel. Earlier I had no interest in fictions thanks Paulo Coelho's Alchemist which forced me to shift the interests. I later bought two other books by Paulo Coelho “Veronica decides to die” and “Eleven minutes”. The time when I deeply got involved in Veronica the same time lost the book while traveling. That shifted my attention to Tushar Raheja's "Anything for you ma’am".

The reviews on websites were mixed but I decided to go with it as I have some special feelings for IITD. To tell you frankly I really enjoyed the journey from start to end.

Its a story of a lover boy called Tejas Narula who is in deep love with Shreya his sisters friend and stays far away from him (Delhi-Chennai long journey !!). It has all funs one can expect about IIT life and the youth in general. The college fun, playing pranks to professors etc. But our lover boy although not sincere in studies, is very much sincere to his love. In beginning he thinks distances do not matter but later the urge to see her occupies his consciousness such that he takes all the all risks just to meet her. The chance to bunk industrial tour seems too perfect for him to reach Chennai. But the journey takes so many twists and fate tests his all-round abilities to rise over all the difficulties. The book has very good humor (Prof. Puppy, Tejas's friends and his overall comments in book about any situation !). The story takes so many turns, especially with Prof. Puppy and his BioBull project and Tejas’s journey in train. The book also has some romantic moments, the story about Shreya and Tejas's candle light dinner. I love the song he sung at that moment,

---All I Can Do---

You I ain’t a rich kid, just a poor nerd,
Ain’t got no money, my pockets full of mud.
Faded jeans and ragged shirts, thank god they are in,
Cuz those are the only things I have to fit in.
So if you are that kinda gal, who just goes for money.
You can check out Harry, he's got a big limousine.

All I have got is unconditional love.
All I can promise you is I’ll be there when the things are tough.

No I can’t promise you dinner in golden plates.
No I can’t promise you disco nights so late.
We can get a candle or two and light up my place.
Maybe wash some crockery, order pizzas at low rate.
No lousy music, my guitar gently plays
A song, written, especially for you babe.

All I have got is unconditional love.
All I can promise you is I’ll be there when the sea is rough.

So all those who believe in love and its power, just grab the book.
Love helps our hero just as the king in the Alchemist says,
If you really want something, the whole universe is going to conspire to help you. But to do that, you have to be brave. Brave enough to fight for things that are meaningful to you!!
