My favorite Quotes -- Revolution 2020

Morning Everyone,
Revolution 2020, Revolution 2020 quotes, Revolution 2020 book cover
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:
--x--
'Looks like we will have to break the door', the maid said
I wondered how I, who had come as a chief guest for a college orientation program, became involved with forcing open random toilets in Varanasi.
--x--
'Sounds good,' Raghav said. 'I am sure you will crack something. At least AIEE.'
When people clear JEE, they start using phrases like 'at least AIEEE.'
--x--
When girls use vague terms like 'generally', it is cause for specific concern. Or maybe not.
--x--
Raghav's advising her? Who is he? A career counselor? Or does he have the license to preach now because he has a fucking JEE rank?
--x--
'Love is what your parents give you if you clear the IIT exam', he said
--x--
Pouting, she went back to her seat. 'Mr. Editor, don't edit me out of your life, okay?' she said.
--x--
Old friends are old friends, Goapl. Boyfriends and all are fine, but they never understand you like old friends can'
--x--
'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."
--x--
Every Friday I made rounds of the classes. I kept a three-day stubble to look old enough to be a director.
--x--
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
--x--
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
--x--
'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
--x--
How do you come up with a suitable sentence to convey something you have meant to say for years? .... 'I am better than you, asshole'
--x-- 

Well Well, have you read this book? Or any other book by Chetan Bhagath? How do you feel about it? Your opinion on his style?

with warm regards
