| Revolution 2020 |
How is it all going on? Grabbed a good read these days? Well, Yeah, I have. Revolution 2020 by Chetan Bhagath. The official introduction to the books says:
Once upon a time, in small-town India, there lived two intelligent boys.
One wanted to use his intelligence to make money.
One wanted to use his intelligence to create a revolution.
The problem was, they both loved the same girl.

I loved the book a lot. Here is a review for the book and below you can find my favorite lines in the book:

'Love is what your parents give you if you clear the IIT exam', he said

Pouting, she went back to her seat. 'Mr. Editor, don't edit me out of your life, okay?' she said.

Old friends are old friends, Goapl. Boyfriends and all are fine, but they never understand you like old friends can'

'Different? Formal? Is that all you say?' she mocked.
'No .. you look great. But I didn't expect to see you in a sari,' I said.
'Didn't expect what? that your stupid classmate from school could get a real job?' she wiggled her eyebrows, hands on hips.
'Yeah. You are quite stupid."

Every Friday I made rounds of the classes. I kept a three-day stubble to look old enough to be a director.

She picked up a french fry from her plate and threw it at me. She missed. It fell on the sofa.
'Oops, pick it up, please. I can't dirty my own hotel.' she said

I went back to undoing her jeans. Girls wear the most unremovable, tight jeans in the world. I found it impossible to take them off without her help

'All you boys are the same. First you chase, but when you get the girl, you want to be kinds,' she said
'You are my queen, my dear,' I said.
'Cheesy. Conry. Horrible,' she said
'You are my queen, my dear,' I said.
'Cheesy. Conry. Horrible,' she said
