“Aggregate 50” by Kshitish Chandra Patro is one of the few books which begins to attract and tickle the imagination of the reader from the cover itself. Seeing the words “ICAI” and a few men’s undergarments hanging, it is fairly easy to guess the plot without reading the blurb. Unlike most of the books based on college students and college life, “Aggregate 50” does explore student life but in a different manner.
There are characters with different natures and temperaments and also face consequences on the basis of that but one common thing is their field of study. A lot has been written on the lives of engineering and medical students and for a change, Patro has attempted to describe the lives of CA students through 3 different characters. The fact that he explores a completely different field of study through the eyes of these students is what is the innovative part of the book. The book is very likely to have a strong appeal among the students doing the CA course or who are getting into it and also those who have left their home towns and gone to different cities for their education. At the same time, adults should also read the book to understand the psychology of students and their issues to take them closer to the new generation.
