Anupama Ramanujam is one of the few present day writers who has the potential of developing a literary genre of her own.

Book Review: My Ramyeon Girl

Love is a genre that can never go out of fashion in literary writing. Various writers have explored it from different perspectives and different viewpoints and one thing that all try to say is that love as an emotion is the purest of all. The author, Nethra A in her story “My Ramyeon Girl” does the same. The difference comes when she explores different themes and ideas. So even when the main plotline is of a love story, the underlying themes like racial differences, negating geographical boundaries, narcissism, celebrity life in comparison to a common man’s life, stardom and its effects on the life of a person and the person as a whole make sure that there is something or the other for every reader to read.

The presence of all these themes and a very innovative plotline shows an absolute potential for the book to go a long way and also be converted into a film. Such kind of diverse themes also open the appeal of the book to a variety of readers only to increase the audience widely. The flow of the plot is also finely done and it progresses at a fine speed. Also, there are light twists and turns which makes the plot unpredictable too. 

Book Review: Aggregate 50

“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.
