Above Average

Finished reading Above Average.
It is a much better read than Five Point Someone. In Five Point Someone one could only relate to the events that are described. Above Average captures descriptions to a certain depth, which lets one relate to the experience of the mentioned event, even though one's not seen something exactly similar. A vivid description of Delhi and the life around 'Arindam' - the narrator, carries the entertainment value but subtle references to the narrator's reflection of the incidents mentioned is what makes the book special. These reflections are left open-ended and
create space for the reader's thoughts to flow.
The elaborate prose-style reveals the author's passion for writing; the open portayal of the college student's life makes the book bold; however, the periodic musings of the narrator are what bring out the thinker in the author.
Overall the book is good, I feel the author is more than what he brings out in this book, at leats I think so.

Added later:
On second thoughts... naah. It was a time pass read. But what I thought about the author still stands.

Added much later:
And on third thoughts.. don't know if what I thought about the author also stands or not.. ????... so confused!!
