Book Blurb:

My Review:
Well, this was my second book from the same Author. The book has a lovely cover which attracted me and that’s the reason I picked this book.
As the title suggests, Atin (protagonist of the story) is an IIT pass out. After graduating from IIT, he is in search of a job. While attending an interview for a job, he meets Ujani (female protagonist of the story.) As happen in other love stories, Atin falls in love with Ujani. Then there is a twist in the tale, Ujani gets a job with Pan India Airlines and moves away to Hyderabad. But the distance between the couple were not enough to break them apart.
Despite being an IIT pass out, Atin’s career never reached high. He leads a simple life; in technical terms a Loser’s life. To know Atin’s story and his struggling life you have to read the book. It would be unfair, if I write everything here.
Though the language in which the book is written is quite good, the story isn’t something which will attract you. The ending is more or less like those of the Ram Gopal Verma movies. Perhaps, the Author has tried to make the book a bit filmy.
