Inspiration
I believe that each of us are different and unique in our own way. It doesn’t always have to be something as drastic as a mental health disorder. But when people cast you out, call you names and make fun of you, just remember – in every freak, there lives a Superman!
About The book
Reijul's book is about a Bengali boy called Pranav Dasgupta who lives in Bangalore. He joins a computer science college called ICSI and navigates college life with humour. He meets a girl from a neighbouring college and is very attracted to her. However, as he learns more about her, the plot thickens and the story gets darker. Through it all, Pranav maintains his sense of humour, adding a little bit of fun to the story. Yet, the climax is as riveting and suspenseful as an Agatha Christie!
